guide for 'web' companies

If you work for a 'web' company, ie, a company who handles products targeted directly for the web, I have a few observations that may help.

  • iFrame - Know what they are.
  • HTML - It's the English language of the web. To quote Jules Winnfield : "English, Motherfu&$er, do you speak it?"
  • Pop-ups - I don't care if you're using _blank to kick open a new browser window or some JavaScript shenanigans, don't pop up a new window for a freekin' link. Understand why this is * a * bad * thing. (yes, I do it for pdf's, but reluctantly.)
  • RSS - Don't try to sell me RSS as a replacement for pulling content from databases. It's "syndication" not "making up for a lack of a product feature"
