The “One HTML Page Challenge”, a great example of view-source culture / Boing Boing

When I was interviewing developers for my latest book Coders, all the ones who grew up during the late 90s and early 00s web talked about how powerful view-source was in teaching themselves to code and make stuff online.
But web development these days has grown byzantine in its complexity; if newbie is trying to learn, view-source is liable to just cough up a slurry of incomprehensible, minified javascript. It closes off the easy onramps that existed back in the earlier days of the web.
So, projects like this one-page challenge are awesome, because the whole goal is to encourage the writing of web-site code that’s more legible and tractable.
