Why This Site Exists

I have created this site to assist people in understanding assumptions that are "known" but generally not documented in web development; to fill in the gap that beginners inevitable fall into; to provide a resource when something is "beyond the scope of ..."

Even after a decade of experience, the most frustrating thing about "development" remains the lack of documentation when learning something new. "Development" usual refers to software development: the act / process of writing, coding, and debugging applications for computers.

Here, I am focusing on web development using HTML, PHP, CSS and other frameworks. However, my goal is to provide information that is useful if you choose to explore other frameworks: ActionScript, ASP, C++. There are ALOT of sites online that offer very thorough documentation ... I hope to list them here and fill in the blanks between technologies!
