Web Design for Server-Side Developers
As server-side developers developing Ajax applications we are finding ourselves dealing with more CSS and JavaScript, a role generally handled by a web designer. This session will focus on the underlining principles of web design from the perspective of a server side application developer.
Topics to be discussed include document types, CSS, and Ajax/DHML using current techniques. This session will explore how to clearly delineate application behavior, content, and logic using standard techniques. Performance implications related to web design along with overcoming browser compatibility issues will also be discussed. The objective of this session is to give server-side developers the basic web design skills to create better interfaces that web designers could later update without having to re-write.
