Some development in .NET, Angular, TypeScript, CSS, and also something completely different
Als je met webstandaarden bezig bent en er belang bij hebt dat al je pagina’s in orde zijn heb je de plicht om toch bijna elke pagina te checken in de W3C-validator. Dit kan een tijdrovende bezigheid zijn als je met 100+ documenten zit.
