2010 - A year of hardboiled events and more
After traveling from the USA for An Event Apart to Australia and Japan for Web Directions in 2009, I had expected 2010 to be quieter. I was wrong. 2010 is going to be busier and more hardboiled than ever.
As well as hosting my own For A Beautiful Web CSS workshops, in 2010 we’re taking For A Beautiful Web to the next level with four new workshops featuring special guest presenters, starting with Designing for Mobile with CSS3 with Dan Rubin in Birminghan (UK) on April 1st and jQuery For Designers with Remy Sharp in London in May.
“Hardboiled Web Design” — talking the talk
I’ve been working on a new talk and throughout the year I will present, “Hardboiled Web Design” at several very special events.
Take an uncompromising look at how to make the most from modern design tools and browsers, up-to-date techniques and processes. In this practical, design-focused talk, Andy will discuss the “how” as well as the “why,” and challenge your preconceptions to help you make better work for the web. Learn the most modern, forward-moving, and sometimes experimental CSS techniques, and why a forward-looking approach to CSS will pay real dividends.
