reto ambühler - a natural born traveller

here you can find my curriculum vitae.

my fundamental axioms of Web publishing are:

1. Web documents shall comply to the standards set by the W3C !
2. the strength of Web publishing is actuality, not layout !
3. actuality and accuracy are much more important than appearance !
4. the Web shall not only provide the freedom for everyone to publish, but also the reader shall have the freedom to enjoy the information the way she or he wants !
5. if it is not there, don't mention it !

my thoughts about the art of Web publishing in greater detail.
