Appears to be broken this morning. I see the template briefly, then nothing, in Chrome and IE. Which is sad because it sounds really great.

Sounds like a violation of rule #21: Don't use Javascript to load/render your content text. It's idiotic. Thanks.

And what do you use, Mr. Fancy Pants? Markup?! Psh, that's poppycock.

You should have links to webplatform.org - this is a varied collection of docs and tutorials contributed by browser vendors and other key web players, via the W3C.

Awesome - is it good for any particular technology or topic?

JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SVG. Not proprietary technologies (Flash, etc.) and not really server-side JS (yet).

Yep 'tis broken. I'm guessing site robustness isn't part of the cheat sheet.

How does a syntax error have anything to do with robustness? Now if you had mentioned something that made sense, like "testing" or "continuous integration", then only the "'tis" would be irritating.

Robustness - "the persistence of a system’s characteristic behavior under perturbations or unusual or conditions of uncertainty". Changes like Chrome versus IE; like 1 visitor versus 1000.

'tis.

its broken on desktop Chrome as well. but I'm not sure why it go so many upvotes if nobody can view it. obviously some people can. Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier content.js:627 ReferenceError: CONTENT is not defined at new masterCtrl ( http://www.bentobox.io/javascripts/main.js:85:17 ) at d ( https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.8/angula... ) at Object.instantiate ( https://ajax.googleapis…

I see that you can copy and paste; 'tis still not pertinent to a syntax error, which will break this site on browsers like Chrome and IE (and Safari and Firefox), with 1 visitor or 1000 (or 0 or 74635494635).

There is useful coloring - "Beginners, start by clicking the html box and the next lessons you should learn will get highlighted."

I still don't quite get what that means. If you click Python, why is Ruby highlighted, but not Django?

This is exactly what I was wondering.
