Attn Java Devopers: Web standards have evolved!

| Friday, July 02, 2004

Good Java developers have done a great job of keep their skills up with respect to
-Java APIs
-Design Patterns
-3rd Party Applications / Tools

But man.. their UI skills are week. Most applications are still developing without CSS, with HTML instead of XHTML. This leads to sites that are less accessable and hard to render consistently across multiple browsers (amoung other things). If this is old news to you, great. Please help spread the word.

Here is a great view into the future. Try this w/o CSS:

or

How can you learn more?
