he beauty of the web lies in its longevity and flexibility. Time
never stands still in Web development, and the more time you
spend on the Web, the more frantic the pace seems to become.
Some of you might have started developing websites a while back, others
have jumped into Web design just recently; but all of you have probably
seen techniques and practices coming and going, tools and libraries
praised and neglected, trends appearing and falling over the cliff.
The Web is dynamic and versatile—coding techniques aren’t black
or white, and our decisions always emerge from those shady gray areas.
There are no perfect solutions, and usually it’s a matter of reaching a
sound compromise within given constraints. Web design today requires
pragmatic, open-minded approaches.
