HTML is not a programming language

There's nothing that sours me on a job candidate more than finding something like “Advanced HTML Programming” listed under a “Programming Skills” heading.  It's right up there with the “MS FrontPage Expert” skillset.  I understand that having an AOL email address can flag you as potentially un-technical, but to me, the “Advanced HTML Programmer“ and the “MS FrontPage Expert“ are much more indicative of the candidate's quality.

I don't want to sound arrogant, although I'm certainly coming across that way, but by including these sorts of things in a resume you're implicitly communicating that you don't have a good understanding of web software development. 

If you're applying for a mid-level software developer position, don't set a reference to the Amateur Namespace!

Happy .Netting!
