Presentations
Crackin' the Browser Open: HTML5, APIs, and the Evolution of Web Applications
In this half-day session, Molly will provide an overview of whereHTML5 is within the W3C process, what its originators at the WHAT-WG are thinking about, and then jump on in to the really interesting topics of the day. Continuing deeper, we'll look at HTML5 media elements and APIs including video, audio and canvas; we'll examinerelated technologies such as Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and its role within contemporary site and application design; and finally, wrap up with a variety of related work in geolocation and device-oriented standards such as is emerging via other standards bodies.
Takeaways include:
- A better understanding of the origins, goals and current thinking in HTML5
- Real-world techniques to implement HTML5 and related tech into current workflow
- A look at how browsers are changing the way we work, for better or worse
- Guidance as to how to manage open, emerging technologies based on individual and group skillets.
- A solid foundation for determining next steps regarding emerging tech and your current development practices
In Search of Layout: CSS3 Technologies for Visual Design
We've been searching for layout techniques for a long time! In fact, since the days of tables, we've not found solutions to a wide range of layout problems within the presentation layer of front-end development. Part of this is due to delays in implementation, but there's a lot to look at as we move forward.
Topics covered include CSS3 Multicolumn Layout, Grids, CSS Regions and the Flexible Box Model. Examples of these features and how they work will be provided, and resources for future study of these techniques and implementations round out the session.

As the Web evolves to incorporate new standards and the latest browsers offer new possibilities for creative design, the art of creating Web sites is also changing. Few Web designers are experiences programmers, and as a result, working with semantic markup and CSS can create roadblocks to achieving truly beautiful designs using all the resources available. Add to this the pressures of presenting exceptional design to clients and employers, without compromising efficient workflow, and the challenge deepens for those working in a fast-paced environment. As someone who understands these complexities firsthand, author and designer Andy Clarke offers visual designers a progressive approach to creating artistic, usable, and accessible sites using transcendent CSS.
In this groundbreaking book, you’ll discover how to implement highly original designs through visual demonstrations of the creative possibilities using markup and CSS. You’ll learn to use a new design workflow, build prototypes that work well for designers and all team members, use grids effectively, visualize markup, and discover every phase of the transcendent design process, from working with the latest browsers to incorporating CSS3 to collaborating with team members effectively.
Transcending CSS: The Fine Art of Web Design:
Uses a visual approach to help you learn coding techniques
Includes numerous examples of world-class Web sites, photography, and other inspirations that give designers ideas for visualizing their code

Proving once and for all that standards-compliant design does not equal dull design, this inspiring tome uses examples from the landmark CSS Zen Garden site as the foundation for discussions on how to create beautiful, progressive CSS-based Web sites. By using the Zen Garden sites as examples of how CSS design techniques and approaches can be applied to specific Web challenges, authors Dave Shea and Molly Holzschlag provide an eye-opening look at the range of design methods made possible by CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). By the time you've finished perusing the volume, you'll have a new understanding of the graphically rich, fully accessible sites that CSS design facilitates. In sections on design, layout, imagery, typography, effects, and themes, Dave and Molly take you through every phase of the design process--from striking a sensible balance between text and graphics to creating eye-popping special effects (no scripting required).
