Learning Web Standards just got easier

Written by Arno Zijlstra Wednesday, 15 October 2008 09:55

Opera has launched a site in association with the Yahoo! Developer Network to help you out with working with Web Standards. Besides being a great source of information for already Web Standards aware designers you can take it as a complete course to learn standards-based development.

It already has support from many organizations (including Yahoo! and the Web Standards Project) and universities.

Web standards and Joomla!

There is a lot to wish for considering web-standards and Joomla! but that is about to change for Joomla! 1.6 and the versions after that. Currently there are discussion going on about how to tackle this large but long awaited change for the Joomla! core.

The most important thing is creating documentation about Joomla! (web) standards before starting to rebuild the core (X)HTML and CSS because this change will probably affect lots of people being it users or developers. The documentation is incredible important because it's not just Joomla! that needs to make a shift in thinking and developing but this is also an important task for 3pd extension developers.

How great would it be to have a Joomla! that is standards compliant to begin with, I would certainly love it. When I have more information you'll be the first to know.
