Major HTML/CSS cleanup, and style tweaks

We released a major update to ProductWiki last night just before midnight, but you may not have noticed that much of a change. That's because the bulk of what was done was under the hood. We underwent a complete HTML and CSS stylesheet overhaul. The end result is much cleaner code, and on average, pages that are about half the size (in bytes, not screen real estate of course).

Boring? As an HTML/CSS geek, I don't think so.

 

While for the average person, who by now has probably already stopped reading, this may not at all seem relevant, it does mean the site responds significantly quicker, and allows us to iterate new layouts and UI improvements much quicker.

If you're a web developer looking for some good resources on some of the more recent developments in HTML and CSS, take a look at this primer for about how to use DIVs instead of TABLEs for layout, and for more in depth research take a look at the Web Developer's Handbook.
