| Not at all. Ever wondered why, even on modern websites, css is riddled with repeated statements with this weird "moz-" prefixes? In 2006 when working at Wikia I wrote a tiny lib for deep linking. The lib started at 25 lines with naive implementation of the documentation.
Two weeks later when I had all browsers on all operating systems mapped out it was close to 1,000 lines. I've spent half of my coding time working with Flash, and the monopoly was great. You could make a layout, write a code and have absolute certainty that the outcome will look and feel exactly the same regardless if you ran it on desktop, in the browser - any browser, mobile or kiosk. Few years later I did UI for The Witcher and Dead Island and with that you can add xbox and playstation to the list. Last time I did some web programming was 3 years ago, but it was still a far cry from that experience. |
