A massive congratulations to everyone at ALA, you have certainly changed the way I (and many others, i’m sure) think about the web.

4 Thank you!
You folks have defined excellence in web development—we’d be lost without your superior, game-changing content. Here’s to ten more years! Cheers to you.

5 Only Ten Years?
When I took my first web job in 1999, ALA already seemed like it had been around forever — a testament to the excellent content and great community it had even back then. Keep up the excellent work!

8 Helping hand
I’m still young to the web world and to ALA, I’ve only been reading regularly since January, and had popped in only occasionally for a year or so before then. So I can by no means truly recognise the full extent of what you’ve done for us humble designers over the past decade
However, from the time I have spent here, I’d like to thank you for providing such high quality articles that speak in the tongue of true professionals who really know what they’re talking about and do so with such raw passion.
And the fact that the service your provide is free, well shucks that’s just swell! I owe you guys, perhaps I’ll buy you all a beer sometime when I finally save up to attend AEA!
I look forward to the next 10 years.

10 to another ten
Congratulations guys,
I remember first being introduced to ALA six or seven years ago, it’s always been a great reference and a good place to get a brain workout.
Keep up the good work.

1 Don't they grow up fast...
Although as a relatively recent reader, I don’t remember ALA when it were knee-height to a grasshopper, I hope that in another decade I can congratulate you all again. For now, well done on creating a wonderful, useful, and entertaining publication. A lot of people appreciate it!
