Is HTML the easiest or hardest to get right?
About this episode
The podcast is back! And in this episode, I talked about how the difficulties of semantic HTML.
If you ask any front-end developer what the easiest language is between HTML, CSS, and JS, and everyone is going to say HTML, right?
It’s funny though, because most of the things I hem and haw over the longest are often related to how to mark something up in my HTML.
