Welcome!
Welcome to Code & Prose—our book club for people who love the craft of building things and the stories behind them. We meet to discuss books that explore technology, design, creativity, and the human side of code. Whether you’re brand-new to web design or you’ve been building for years, you’re welcome here.

Questions to ponder: What makes a web page feel “designed” instead of just “built”? Which HTML elements create meaningful structure? What CSS choices most improve readability and layout for real humans?
