    I hope the author isn't holding out for a script-writing deal for anything starring Chuck Norris or Lorenzo Lamas.

    It's time to stop living in the past and get away from the days of spaghetti code, insanely nested table layouts, tags, and other redundancies that double and triple the bandwidth of even the simplest sites.
