Inspect Element : Diving Into The Complexity Of The Web

<p>The Web is a Complex Place: Have you noticed that Track Changes has migrated off of Medium? That got us thinking about WordPress as a platform that’s changed enormously in the past few years. Front-end development has <em>exploded</em>. The way we use the web changed. No longer are we simply delivering pages and searching for things, we’re using the web to explore an infinite space! So how has WordPress responded to the levels of abstraction we’ve piled on to web development? Is this complexity a good thing, or a symptom of something ominous? One thing is certain: The way we think of the web has changed, and it doesn’t look like our culture of tech is headed towards simplification.</p> LINKS <ul> <li><a href="https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeveloper.wordpress.org%2Fthemes%2Fgetting-started%2Fsetting-up-a-development-environment%2F" target="_blank"> Setting up a Development Environment (WordPress)</a></li> <li><a href="https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fpostlight%2Fheadless-wp-starter" target="_blank"> Postlight’s Headless WordPress Starter Kit</a> by Gina Trapani (GitHub)</li> <li><a href="https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FFront-end_web_development" target="_blank"> Front-end Web Development</a> (Wikipedia)</li> <li><a href="https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FIntegrated_development_environment" target="_blank"> Integrated Dev Environment</a> (Wikipedia)</li> <li><a href="https://medium.com/r/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FBatch_file" target="_blank"> Batch File</a> (Wikipedia)</li> </ul> <p> </p>       See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
