My next job, I worked on a CGI program that broke down an HTML page into a tree structure and replaced custom tags (very similar to XML, but before then) with dynamic, formatted data. That was one hairy program, but it was probably the time I was most thankful about some of those those high-end theory courses in my degree. |
