• 20:12, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page JScript and Other Interesting Quirks of Internet Explorer (Created page with " Internet Explorer is often remembered for its incompatibilities and proprietary behaviour. However, many of its quirks — particularly around JScript and the browser runtime — were early experiments that anticipated features later standardised across the web. Understanding these decisions provides valuable insight into how modern JavaScript engines, APIs, and developer tools evolved. == Context == During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the web was still defining i...")
• 20:06, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page We’re All Still Living the DHTML Dream (Created page with " Modern web applications often present themselves as revolutionary, but much of what we build today is a direct continuation of ideas formed during the DHTML era. The tools have changed, the performance has improved, and the APIs are richer — but the underlying dream remains the same: dynamic, responsive, application‑like experiences delivered over documents. == Context == In the late 1990s and early 2000s, '''Dynamic HTML (DHTML)''' promised something radical for...")
• 20:05, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page The XML Stack: A Dynamic Platform That Didn’t Make It (Created page with "Long before modern JavaScript frameworks and JSON-based APIs, the web nearly standardised on a complete, declarative application platform built from XML, XPath, XPointer, and XSLT. This article explores what that platform was, what it was capable of, and why it quietly disappeared — despite solving many problems we still grapple with today. == Context == * XML was never intended to be “just a document format”. * It was designed as a structured, machine-readable da...")
• 19:04, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Describing HTTP Endpoints and Discovery (Created page with "HTTP endpoints are the public “doors” into a system. How those doors are described, exposed, and discovered determines whether an API is usable, evolvable, and maintainable. This article explains what HTTP endpoints really are, how clients discover them, and why good discovery design matters more than most people realise. == Context == HTTP was not originally designed for APIs — it was designed for '''documents linked together'''. APIs inherited HTTP, and with i...")
• 14:53, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Responsive Web Design: HTML Is Already Responsive, and What Print Media Taught Us (Created page with "= Responsive Web Design: HTML Is Already Responsive, and What Print Media Taught Us = '''Summary:''' Responsive Web Design is often described as a modern evolution of web development — something invented to solve new problems. In reality, HTML was already responsive from the very beginning. The core behaviours we now call “responsive” were present in the earliest browsers, long before mobile devices existed. This article explores why HTML was always fluid, w...")
• 14:42, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Progressive Enhancement and Graceful Degradation (Created page with "= Progressive Enhancement and Graceful Degradation = '''Summary:''' Progressive Enhancement and Graceful Degradation are two complementary design philosophies used to build resilient, accessible, and future‑proof systems. They describe how a system behaves when features, capabilities, or assumptions are missing — whether by design, constraint, or failure. This article explains both approaches, where they came from, how they differ, and how they are applied in real...")
• 14:35, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page One Data Model, Many Representations (Created page with "= One Data Model, Many Representations = '''Summary:''' Modern web systems often create unnecessary separation between websites and APIs. In reality, both are simply different representations of the same underlying data. When designed correctly, a website can function as an API, and an API can render a complete website — without semantic loss, duplication, or inconsistency. This article explores that principle and the machine‑readable HTML technologies that make i...")
• 14:06, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Accessibility, ARIA, and Semantic HTML (Created page with "= Accessibility, ARIA, and Semantic HTML = '''Summary:''' Accessibility is not a feature, a checklist, or an optional enhancement. It is the discipline of ensuring that meaning, structure, and behaviour remain usable when visual presentation is removed. This article explains how semantic HTML, ARIA, and backward‑compatible design work together — and why misuse of ARIA often makes accessibility worse, not better. == Context == Accessibility is frequently misund...")
• 12:43, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Digitizing Paper Forms and Business Processes - What to Remember and What to Forget (Created page with "= Digitizing Paper Forms and Business Processes — What to Remember and What to Forget = '''Summary:''' Paper forms are not mistakes to be erased; they are artefacts of real work that evolved under physical constraints. When we digitize, we should preserve what paper gets right (clarity, authority, linear flow) and retire what it does poorly (long, multi‑party, storage‑heavy, silo‑creating processes). This article explains how to analyse the business process be...")
• 12:28, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Tabular Data: From Paper Ledgers to APIs (Created page with "= Tabular Data: From Paper Ledgers to APIs = '''Summary:''' Long before computers existed, organisations recorded information in tables. While the technologies used to store and serve data have evolved — from paper ledgers to flat files, database servers, and modern APIs — the fundamental shape of most business data has remained remarkably consistent. This article explores that continuity, and how successive generations of systems have focused less on changing the...")
• 11:45, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page How Computers Interact with HTTP Endpoints (Created page with "= How Computers Interact with HTTP Endpoints = '''Summary:''' This article explains how computers programmatically communicate with remote systems using HTTP-based interfaces. It covers common web service approaches including XML-RPC, SOAP, RESTful APIs, and JSON-RPC, explaining how they differ, why they exist, and where each is still encountered in real-world systems. == Context == HTTP is often thought of as a protocol for humans using web browsers. In practice, it i...")
• 11:23, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) (Created page with "= HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) = '''Summary:''' HTTP is an application‑layer protocol that defines how clients and servers exchange representations. While often described as simple and stateless, real‑world HTTP behaviour is shaped by decades of evolution, intermediaries, infrastructure policy, and layered usage. Understanding HTTP as a '''container protocol''' is essential to designing, publishing, securing, and troubleshooting modern systems. == Context == H...")
• 10:45, 13 March 2026 Dex talk contribs created page Ethernet, Frames, and Thinking in Containers (Created page with "= Ethernet, Frames, and Thinking in Containers = '''Summary:''' Ethernet is the foundational link technology of modern networking. It was designed as a practical engineering solution long before formal network-layer models existed. Understanding Ethernet frames and encapsulation as physical containers makes concepts such as MTU, VLANs, and packetisation intuitive rather than abstract. == Context == Ethernet was developed at Xerox PARC in the early 1970s to solve a loca...")
