It's easy to get lost in the Internet while looking for information. It's one of its greatest points: There are thousands of millions of websites out there. Information is the key purpose of the net and nobody can deny it.
But, as in many other cases, quantity does not equal quality. Poor designed websites, too bloated, with many inlined styles or little semantics (if none), are begging for trouble: Their information have lost accessibility.
And W3C said Let there be frames
, and there was frames, and they were used (and abused) and it was good, and W3C said This is right (we're gonna deprecate them soon)
and there was much rejoicing.
Is not new that web developers hate all that's made with frames. They're a burden nobody wants to carry, so confusing, so "nineties", so... well, deprecated, that's it. So you may think I'm just delving into the past. Frames, as we know it, are dissapearing into extinction but, the main idea, more or less, is still needed nowadays.
As said in Best Practices for Building Web Applications, one of the things to have in mind when developing Web Applications (or any simple HTML website) is to Think on Semantics. Let's see how this can boost our websites and raise them to the top.
If there's something I've learned during my developer life, is to make a list of basic rules and to be faithful to them. These rules are the skeleton on which all my own applications shall be built. Of course, these rules also evolved as time goes by, growing stronger or falling into obsolescence, often unpredictably.
Web development is not different from C++ coding, so it also has its own ruleset in order to avoid "bad habits". These are my rules, tell me yours.
