Web Development Basics

Note:
This page was created for use in my former teaching at the University of Pittsburgh. It is only occasionally updated resulting in many links being more of historical rather than current usefulness. Over time many links will suffer link rot.

"Only 10 percent of the current Fortune 500 companies will survive the next 10 years. The rest will shrivel to a fraction of their former selves, because they won't make a successful transition to the customer-centric Web economy."

Jakob Nielsen
