For a very long time I have avoided learning HTML and ASP.Net and stayed away of applications using it. I didn’t wanted to end up with messy code and hacks to support multiple browsers (read: Internet Explorer 6.0). But as HTML5 and CSS3 are gaining more momentum, I have changed my mind and I have started learning HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Even if these technologies have their annoyances, they are THE way to develop cross platform software applications.
