here here. I am very thankful that when i started out a decade ago the first book i read was Designing with Web Standards. I still recommend it to noobs but i can’t necessarily blame them for not getting through it when there are more shiny things like React and Vite to learn about.

To read that book now would be largely a history lesson because we no longer have to fight to maintain some quirk between a handful of browser versions. But man, knowing about semantic markup and really getting why that is a thing in the first place is super important.
