Comments on: I’d Like To Thank The Academy… http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/02/03/id-like-to-thank-the-academy/ Things that Eric A. Meyer, CSS expert, writes about on his personal Web site; it's largely Web standards and Web technology, but also various bits of culture, politics, personal observations, and other miscellaneous stuff Fri, 10 May 2013 11:50:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Elaine http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/02/03/id-like-to-thank-the-academy/#comment-89864 Elaine Thu, 08 Feb 2007 18:28:12 +0000 http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/02/03/id-like-to-thank-the-academy/#comment-89864 “You”re one of many “heros” that have inspired my career goals”

I think that was what I was trying to say when I gapered out at SxSW last year. Thank you for communicating to all of us out here about HTML and CSS. (I can still remember the feeling of complete awe the first time I saw css-edge.)

And congratulations!

don’t be surprised to receive such honor – you thoroughly deserve it ;)
You have taught and inspired so many of us – and keep on doing so that it is about time for you to receive the appropriate recognition.

Thanks for all your writings, comments, books and insights :)

This is well deserved and it is insipring to know that there is recognition for your work, and that of the wider standards community, towards the greater good of the web. I particularly love your take on the perceptions of your work communicating vs designing.

You’re one of many “heros” that have inspired my career goals and a dream job down the track in terms of education and helping designers and developers work together to best serve their audience and the greater web. Cheers.

It’s well-deserved, you’ve taught me much more about how the Web works than David Bowie or Richard Branson ever could have. :)

Thoroughly deserved. The thanks is both ways. I read CSS: The Definitive Guide in early 2002, whilst doing my law degree. Five years later, and I’ve actually got a career as a web developer. Your book was an invaluable grounding in client-side code, as was this blog.

Can someone say something grumpy now as this is all getting to be a bit of a love-in.
