> You should allow creation of the resume in smaller chunks and save as you go. I get very nervous when I have to type more than a few sentences in an unsaved document. This. I avoid web editors like the plague, unless I know with certainty that they have no-reload auto-save.

Very pretty! How long have you been building this? and what tools did you use? I'm working on my first web app now too!

As to web dev, different people tend to use very different tools to build something looked exactly the same for end-users.

Very Often, it depends heavily on what language you use, java, php, ruby, python...? I love Ruby on Rails.

Thanks, I'm using python right now, a buddy of mine is a python evangelist and got me hooked.
