So I’m teaching a friend who doesn’t have any development knowledge how to get started with Small Web development and I thought it would be a good opportunity to start creating and sharing the course on the Kitten web site, one lesson at a time.

Here’s the link:

kitten.small-web.org/course

It’s a work in progress that I’ll be adding to along with our lessons but the draft of the first one, on setting up your development environment (which I whipped up in the pub last night, so expect typos) is here:

kitten.small-web.org/course/se…

Please feel free to follow along and file issues if you have thoughts for improvements, etc.

The Setting Up lesson will actually likely end up being the second one with the first being a theoretical one on Small (peer-to-peer) Web development and how it is similar to and differs from Big (centralised) Web development.

Enjoy!

In this video I talk about some of the accessibility features built into popovers in #html.

🧠 Just came across #BeyondPDF by #TMLR. It introduces a new submission format for #ScientificPublishing based on #Markdown and #HTML, supporting interactive figures, videos, and other rich media. This enables direct interaction with content beyond what static PDFs allow. Awesome idea!
