Coding among thieves...

I kind of feel sorry for anyone starting out in webdesign nowadays.

I remember a time when teaching someone HTML was much easier. You just find a website you like, hijack their code and learn by replacing this or that. Now it's like trying to teach someone a foreign language. CSS and HTML5 has changed so much. The learning curve is insane.

You can't even really rely on ganking code because you need so many scripts and stylesheets it's not worth it. However, because of places like Themeforest there is an abundance of template you can alter. Maybe the best way to teach someone now is to get a basic HTML template and throw them in head first and see what happens.

I'm guessing it will go something like this:

The blue stuff...

I was having a conversation with another web-head and his phone auto corrected "code" to "cook". So now I want to start a trend in the web design community when someone asks what you design in you say "I cook HTML5" or I cook in PHP" (just don't get the H confused with a C)

Let's all sound like meth dealers who are speaking in...

wait for it...

Code!!
