Web Builder Conference. Zeldman: Here's the thing: 99 percent of Web sites are obsolete, even though most of them seem to work in IE4, IE5, and Netscape 4. We've been in a cycle of obsolescence since the beginning of the Web. What happened was pretty simple: the Web became commercial before standards were in place and before browsers supported those standards. Businesses began demanding sophisticated Web presences when there was no standard design format and no standard scripting language. We did whatever we had to do. We developed best practices that weren't always for the best.http://www.webbuilderconference.com/interview_zeldman.asp
