Then we'll delve into the nuances of selectors, with an eye toward advanced CSS selectors and how they can make your CSS leaner and meaner than ever. This will be a look not only at the present state of selector support, but also its future and how you can jump right into the future today! In the second half, table layout will be the order of the day. What's that, you say? Not using tables for layout! Of course not, but instead taking table markup and laying it out in decidedly non-tabular ways. We'll go way beyond the old table-as-bar-chart trick (though we'll work with that one too) and play around with timelines, maps, and more. In the process, you'll break down some deeply ingrained habits and learn to look at your markup in a whole new way. That will provide a nice segue into the final topic of the day, HTML 5. Besides covering some of the differences between HTML 4 and HTML 5, we'll take a swing at using and styling some of the new HTML 5 elements and discuss some of the current pitfalls. 622 United Kingdom The Exciting Future of CSS and XHTML with Eric Meyer of "Complex Spiral" & "An Event Apart" 2009-03-09 false http://carsonworkshops.com/2009/ericmeyer/index.html http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/622 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/622/Carsonified.jpg css, designer, developer, eric meyer, html, web, workshop Pittsburgh USA 2009-04-05 Pittsburgh Web Design Day is a one-day, local web design conference to highlight local talent as well as those with strong ties to Pittsburgh who have gone on to be leaders in our industry.

But you can increase your odds, and one of the best ways to do this is to really understand users' reasons for doing things.

This is a hands on practical workshop combined with discussions on a variety of methods and approaches to implementing usability in the real world. Andy Clarke - Visual Web Design Masterclass Sometimes, in all the excitement about AJAX, APIs, frameworks and other technical whizz-bangs, talk about visual design on the web gets lost.

Get your most difficult questions answered and gain insights from the brightest thinkers and practitioners in the Web industry during three days of entertaining, informative, and inspiring sessions and conversations. Two tracks each day mean there's always a session for you: whether you're looking for off-beat ideas that you'll be eager to try when you get back to work or down-to-earth techniques that'll make that your job easier every day.

These days, everyone’s having to do more with less. We get that. That’s why Web Design World Seattle is all about teaching you what you need today.

Social networking instead of social not-working. Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Flash power tips. And the design aesthetics and user experience concepts that make for happier visitors, happier bosses, and — our accountant made us say this — a maximized return on investment. 686 WA Since 1997, Web Design World has helped thousands of Web designers learn what they need to know to make better web sites.

Whether it's a smarter content strategy, a more efficient workflow, or simply how to use drop shadows and an expanded typographic repertoire, you need the tools to build tomorrow's Web today. Are your design skills up to the challenge? Does your new media savvy match that of your users or competitors? Are your sites ready to be accessed from smartphones and iPads? Even if you think your answer to those questions is yes, what you still need is the Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference, taking place June 28-29, 2010 in San Francisco, CA. Only here will you have the opportunity to meet and learn from the thought leaders in our industry. This conference brings together respected industry authors and thought-leaders of the Web design revolution. Many of you learned your very first Web design skills from these authors. Now, you can learn from them how changes to the building blocks of the Web—from HTML5 and CSS3 to user interfaces—are enabling designers to create sites that are easy to use, richly functional, packed with interactive features, and easily accessible from any Internet-capable device. Over the course of two days, these sessions—plus the opportunity to interact and share ideas with fellow designers, teachers, and, yes, authors—will give you the insight and inspiration you need to ensure that your sites are ready for the future.

Detractors say that Flash isn't search engine friendly; Screen readers can't understand Flash content; You can't deeplink to specific pages... You know what? They're wrong. These criticisms are symptoms of misunderstanding by developers on the ways different technologies work together. This workshop will show you how to take a higher level approach focusing on user experience. We'll break down each common critique of Flash, one at a time, and show you how to address them in your work. Attendees will learn how to use HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, XML and Flash to compliment each other in creating the most meaningful experience to the widest audience range. The goal is to feel comfortable making decisions about when and how to use Flash appropriately and to gracefully degrade immersive experiences for Flash disabled devices (like iPhones and iPads). 1498 PA How to build an experience for all types of users (human or otherwise).
