It’s all happening in Amsterdam
All front-end coders around the world be aware, the Dutch are doing it again!
A guild of front-end coders is about to set-up within a few months. Lately I’ve been three times in Amsterdam to discuss on what the guild will do for front-end coders.
The main idea is to certify the front-end coders, in order to have a clear sight on them for the government and companies. If they need a good web site, they can look-up at our site for a good front-end coder or a company with good front-end coders as employee.
Also important is our work group on education. The education on how to build web sites is very bad. They just learn how to build a web site with Frontpage, or using tables for layout. The working group is going to do something about that.
Peter-Paul Koch, from QuirksMode.org, started it all. At the first meeting only twelve people came, but now there are 31 organizations on the member list.
For more info, you can subscribe to the (Dutch) mailing list, or take a look at our temporary site.
