-I must admit that I have a bit of a hate-love relationship towards web technologies and the "web as a platform". Of course, there's been a _tremendeous_ development (in many different areas) since [Tim Berners-Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee) invented the web. It started off with static web pages, then grew into dynamic, server-generated pages with [CGI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface), classic [ASP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Server_Pages) and all of that. Around the same time as server technologies became more and more dynamic, [Brendan Eich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich) created JavaScript which made it possible to make pages that were dynamic on the client-side also (i.e. in the browser). Eventually, web pages grew into supporting what we now talk about as [single-page applications](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-page_application), where the `.html` page is more of a "container" of the assets (`.css` and `.js` files more specifically) that compose the "application".
