Memory based 'quiz' is unrealistic Just to give a quick clear overview of the issue : - HTML5 : 107 elements and more than 143 attributes - CSS2.1 : 115 properties (and their values) -> CSS3 is more or less doubling that number - SVG : 80 elements and 267 attributes - Add all the DOM API, all Aria attributes and their values, all RDFa attributes, all, all, all... Even with my 13 years of web development skills, I do not claim to know half of that, it's just not possible and it's not necessary. > If we want to train people for real life than either we have the quiz > 'open book' or make it project based. We need to test understanding not > memory. > This is definitely the best approche. My 2ct. Regards -- Jeremie .............................
