This has been

Some of the new features grafted onto HTML5 could be considered
programming constructs, no?
Yes
But, the majority of users don't even SEE the HTML. They click the
"HTML5" button on their "web-making" program.
Whatever happened to giving the students a simple project to do
with hand
coding HTML?
I still handcode all my web pages, but I get told that I should be
using a
content management system instead, whereupon I hit them with my
cane and
use my dentures to leave bitemarks in their arm.
That's not "old" just because the industry has become dumbed
down. Most of today's "professional" "web developers" have never
seen HTML.
