Here’s a heartwarming post from Stephanie Stimac on her experience teaching kids the very basics of web development:

[…] the response from that class of high school students delighted me and grounded me in a way I haven’t experienced before. What I view as a simple code was absolute magic to them. And for all of us who code, I think we forget it is magic. Computational magic but still magic. HTML and CSS are magic.

Publishing anything on the web is always going to be magic to some degree but sometimes it’s easy to forget on a day to day basis. We have to brush off the cobwebs! Shake our tailfeathers! And remind ourselves and everyone around us that the basics of web development are precious and fun and exciting still. Especially so we can help inspire the next generation of web designers and developers.
