## Why

There's a lot of obsolete information about HTML and CSS and how to do websites, many are outdated, whereas
other more current are either too deep into technicalities or just in need to be found.
other more current are either too deep into technicalities, only teaching specific details, or just in need to be found.

Using the thme "the right way" this site is an open-source reference which follows the "fork", "pull request"
The idea is to teach how to do things, based on real world usage examples of how to do things in the current fashion.

The site is based on the "the right way" theme as it is an open-source reference which follows the "fork", "pull request"
contribution model hosted on GitHub.

This site is a user-contributed (and reviewed) documentation describing web development best
practices, based on two goals:
### Goals

Provide a collection of hands-on set of examples to teach how to achieve goals and from time to time
augument the existing/upcoming documentation of the new *[Web Platform](http://webplatform.org) Docs project*.

And also:

1. Vulgarize concepts to teach newcomers
2. Link to other resources to deepen the knowledge
1. Make an user-contributed, and reviewed, documentation site describing web development best-practices
2. Vulgarize concepts to teach newcomers
3. Link to other resources to deepen the knowledge

The target audience is people who wants to learn (or re-learn) with today's
HTML+CSS+Javascript best practices to build a web that is future proof.
