What sparked your interest in web development?

I guess I'd have to say it was the fame and all the women.

And don't forget the wild After Parties thrown by satisfied clients!
... and the equally enjoyable Lynching Parties thrown by angry clients.

I've always liked technology and such, but I actually got started in web dev when I got to college and got a work study position in the IT department. That's when knowledge and interest met. I've been coding and designing ever since.

Great minds think alike. The ladies like guys who can validate their CSS.

I rest my case.

Hey, you win women your way and I'll win them my way.
It's worked for me in the past.

This is valid HTML. This is not.

My reaction towards the second site: Holy Hll !!! 2912 errors?!
Beautiful example, Mr Initial Man. Top Notch.

How'd I get started? Can't quite remember exactly, but I think it had something to do with a 14.4kbs modem, grade 6, the <center> tag, and an animated gif of a smoking skull...

You can add the marquee tag to that as well. Batchmates

Because web developers are, first and foremost, the most respected members of society... especially the ones who blog about everything.

Good call on the Havenworks site! The usability engineers will have a field day over this one. Even if the code was valid the site is still atrocious!

there is always something new that could work on the website

...This is not...

Another contender.
