Back to the future with HTML, JavaScript and CSS – amazon take my money now…

Back in 1996 I joined Microsoft to primarily work on SQL Server. By 1997 I was heavily involved in the “Browser wars” – and spent a lot of time exploring and talking on IE, HTML, DHTML (yey!), VBScript (cough!), JScript (cough) and good old IIS.

After many years away from the web UX technologies a return to my “UX” roots is needed, welcome and timely (Hint Build conference this month).

Hence I started skimming through my bookshelf of HTML and JavaScript books – and suddenly realised I had nothing published post 2000!

Off to Amazon I went. The following are now on the way. Note I slipped in a book by the awesome Neil on Azure
