Abstract
The year was 2004. I can’t really tell what the weather was like, but given the fact I was born and grew up in Athens, Greece, you can pretty much assume it was a nice, warm, and bright morning. One of the modules I had to do as part of my geography studies was web map**, and what we had to learn to complete the course was HTML and CSS. Web map** is basically using any map you have produced, on the Internet. We’d take the spatial data, visualize them, and then use a web-based platform to view and analyze whatever we created. And we had to make that platform ourselves (which back then was basically an iframe on a web page with basic controls, like zoom in/out and pan up and down).

An iframe is an HTML element that literally puts a web page inside a web page (or “embeds” it, if you want to be posh). As if one wasn’t enough.
