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.

We hope you had a great time at the conference, and do stay in touch.

So from WDN -> help yourself to the conference slides & podcasts

I’m not sure if I ever thank anyone for visiting my site, so just incase I can’t say it in person… thank you and I hope you enjoy the bloggings.

With ease,
Tim
