HTML (or XHTML) is the most basic building block of the web. At its most basic, it is an incredibly easy mark up language to use, and webpage after webpage bind the web together like glue. HTML executued properly is magic.

Yet that is the way it was originally intended to be. Simple to use, to allow for the rapid and easy sharing of information, on mixed platform computers, a kind of universal language, if you will.

But, despite this simplicity, it is misunderstood by many. Many who should know better. “Well, I don’t need mechanical knowledge to drive a car, so why should I need knowledge of HTML to be a web designer?”Hmm.

But enough of the armchair philosophy.

In my days of being an website interface coder, these were two of my favourite sites that I worked on. Victoria Park is a residental development not too far from where I live, and The PowerHouse Museum is a science and technology museum here in Sydney.
