Experiential Learning
Mattan Ingram Tags: code, education, web It is really amazing how fast the brain learns when it is actually doing something it is interested in, as opposed to just studying it abstractly. Learning about the general concepts of website design and coding is quite important, but it should be in tandem with the visceral experience of WYSIWYG construction and seeing the resulting code. Eventually processor power and internet bandwidth will be so high that efficient web coding on the scale of smaller sites such as this will be irrelevent. Writing pure code will be a thing of the past and I applaude Squarespace for taking a large step in that direction by opening up web development to the thousands of tech-savvy but code-stupid people out there (like me!).
Website building should be fun, not tedious.

Testing how comments look. Not that I expect to get many initially.
yoooo Mattan this site is really turning out well. i like what you did with the background, and the perspective and simplicity of the logo is fantastic. one thing that would look awesome is to have the menus at the top be alternating black background + white text, and white background + black text. as you probably have noticed, a few lines are shifted, you should balance your l/r margins a little more, center section should perhaps take more space if possible, and use of the header space would be nice. can't wait to see how it turns out!
cya next weekend...
