Coding like it’s 1999 - Wouter Immerzeel & Tom van Vliet
OK zoomer, today two dinosaurs will show you what it was like in the good ol’ days.
During this fun code-along Tom and Wouter will take you back to the previous century and will show you how websites used to be made.
And hey, there might even be a bit of a moral to this story!
The web has become far more open in many ways in those 25 years. We are talking about open web standards, but also about improved usability and digital accessibility. So, as you code along with us, you'll see that we've actually come a long way.
But there are more sides to it. While open standards have improved accessibility, the dominance of tech giants has introduced limitations. Looking back to the early days of the web teaches us the value of grassroots creativity, open collaboration and decentralized information sharing. It reminds us to cherish these qualities for a more inclusive and innovative digital future.
So dust off your tables and spacer gifs and get ready to witness Web 1.0!
