I really like that. Did you print libraries and the like, or just the stuff you wrote? I could see value in having a bound version of jQuery if it wasn't on the wall, "I didn't write this, but I know what is in it and how to use it."



This predated the popularity of js libraries like jQuery, so it was all code that we had written ourselves.

Into a text editor, I pasted the HTML source of a rendered page as presented to the end user, then went back and replaced every call to an external js or css with the actual contents of those files. Then at the top, above the doctype declaration, I pasted in the ASP bootstrap code that ran on every page load. I did not include any representation of the compiled code behind the site, like SQL Server, IIS, etc.

If were going to do this now, I would definitely include js libraries like jQuery. The point for me was to illustrate just how complex websites are, not to take personal credit. If you wanted to illustrate it more precisely, maybe you could use different font colors for your code vs. library code.
