The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the standards body responsible for the rules of the road for the information superhighway. In the interest of interoperability — making web pages consistently readable by different browsers on different hardware and software platforms — the W3C provides free online validation services that check the standards compliance of web pages. This site has used these services to validate its pages for XHTML and CSS compliance.
This site has also been tested for conformance to the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and Section 508 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act.
Web pages may appear differently in different versions of different browsers on different operating systems. Browsers vary both in their degree of compliance with interoperability standards, and in the way they implement the standards to which they do comply.
This site has been tested using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, Netscape Navigator 7.1, and Mozilla 1.5 and 1.6 browsers on Microsoft Windows 98, ME, and XP platforms, and Safari browser for Apple Mac OS X (Jaguar).

Although a virtual society is no substitute for a real one, the Web can be a valuable resource for self-instruction. This is especially true in the area of tools and technologies for Web development itself. Many developers have generously shared their know-how. Their tutorials, demonstrations, and sample code have made the construction of this site possible. These contributors have made their work freely available, with the proviso that acknowledgement of their contribution is included in any site that uses their work. The developer of this site is happy to acknowledge:
