The talk will be on the Future of HTML5, stuff coming down the line that we have to look forward to. All sorts of wicked goodness right? I’m really looking forward to working with the folks at Carsonified, who always put together a great conference. I personally attended the Future of Web Apps conference in 2010 (or ’09 maybe?), when it was in Miami. It really was the best conference I’ve attended and it’s a great honor to be on the stage this year. The formats and venues are so unique and the speakers are so great and dynamic, it really will leave you wanting more.

They have an amazing line up coming to New York and a crazy-awesome topic list.

My Talk Description

HTML5 is evolving very quickly and staying on the bleeding edge can sometimes feel like a full-time job. In this session we’ll talk about what’s coming down the pipeline, discuss where we’re headed on the Web and dive into some hand-picked topics about the HTML5 hotness you can expect to use in the future.

Kinda awesome right? I love talking about that bleeding-edge stuff, you should totally come.

They’ll also be recording the sessions and I think the videos should be available later on (not sure on the time-frame for that).

Hope to see you there.

I think it’s a good talk folks might be interested in, if you agree a vote my way would be much appreciated.

Description

Carrying the Web wherever you go is the future, we can all agree on that, but how do you plan for the future of a technology that is still in it’s relative infancy? This session will address how to make your mobile strategy scale to the future. Should we be building for specific devices? Should be be building for the Web? What technologies should we be using to create a unique and memorable experience? We will talk about how to design and develop with scalability in mind from the start so we don’t hit roadblocks along the way which can not only derail a project but create long term problems and scope creep that can damage the user experience. We’ll also talk about jQuery, HTML5, CSS3, performance and how it all fits into the overall picture. You will hopefully leave this session with the knowledge to create a framework for the future of your portable-Web strategy while saving development, design, maintenance, and buckets of cash in the process.

CSS Deployment 101

Reinhold Weber talks about how to compress a CSS file before you push it to the server. this will shave off some load time by reducing everything to one line and removing much of the white space. It also allows you to modularize your CSS without it effecting HTTP requests, because this script will also combine all files into one once it’s on the server.

Equal Height Columns with jQuery

A very useful bit of jQuery creating equal height columns. Pretty slick integration, I’ll be using this.

Web Directions North

Web Directions is a conference I went to last January, it was very cool. Possibly the best conference I’ve been to so far. It’s coming back this February in Denver; if you have the means, I highly recommend it.

Hi there,

How time flies. Much more than 2 months since Web Directions North. But plenty of time to start putting all the things you learned in January in Vancouver into practice I hope.
The really good news is that we’ve been able to put together an excellent set of resources to refresh your memory. All the slides and podcasts from just about all of the sessions are now available at our resources site. The easiest way to see all of them at once is via the blog post below:

Please do spread the word about these around your office and anywhere else there may be interest. This is an outstanding collection of materials: we want as many people as possible to benefit from them.

And keep an eye on the Web Directions blog for other materials from future events.
