learning
This page is to document learning resources that are useful to helping build your own website.
why?
Web technology has gotten more complicated. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ajax, back-end coding, web frameworks, more complex specifications and developer tools means that learning the "web stack" takes more time and effort than ever before. This has made running your own website harder, and thus the position of silo services more attractive.
