Mark, a newcomer to the web industry, and Ben, a hard bitten web veteran, work out why they want to do a podcast and what it might be about. Mark’s suggested read this week is ‘Learning Web Design’ by Jennifer Robbins, and Ben’s is a series of articles called ‘Understanding SVG Coordinate Systems & Transformations’ by Sara Soueidan. Music wise we plug Autechre’s ancient album ‘Inconabula‘ and Spiro’s ‘Kaleidophonica‘ album from early 2013. The intro music ‘Vitreous Detachment’ is used with kind permission from Origamibiro.
