KEYNOTE - WSI: Crimes Against Web Standards
Web standards investigators: Get your crime scene gear on and help Molly dig up the dirt on crimes committed against web standards. Molly will demonstrate markup and CSS samples from her own felonious work dating back to 1993, as well as the work of other infamous standardistas before they got rehabilitated and let standards into their hearts.Social Software as a Platform for Human Advancement
As we enthusiastically embrace the many technologies that come together to create Web applications, it's important to also stay aware of the societal impact our software offers. In particular, social applications offer a foundation for improvements in all kinds of relationships. Spanning from business-oriented apps that enhance networking and economic opportunities to the more personal social applications that allow for myriad interaction, the social application deserves our attention not just as technologists, but as individuals and communities, too.IE8: Ready, Set, Standards?
IE8 brings with it some very interesting history as well as current realities of which we as developers must be aware.The Broken World: Solving the Browser Problem Once and For All
The Web was meant to be interoperable, but as every web designer and developer knows, interoperability is the very thing we lack. As we build standards-based, flexible, accessible, well-designed sites, we find it?s the browser that gives us most of our headaches. In this session, you?ll learn to take better control not through hacks and filters, but through an understanding of why browsers work the way they do.CSS for Developers
While CSS might be the Web's Lingua Franca of presentation and design, it'sthe Front End Developer who finds that he or she has to optimize CSS
documents, manage multiple CSS documents across any number of actual Web
pages, ensure that conflicts and errors are properly addressed and
effectively work with multiple browser hacks, conditional comments and
scripts related to browser compatibility.

Proving once and for all that standards-compliant design does not equal dull design, this inspiring tome uses examples from the landmark CSS Zen Garden site as the foundation for discussions on how to create beautiful, progressive CSS-based Web sites. By using the Zen Garden sites as examples of how CSS design techniques and approaches can be applied to specific Web challenges, authors Dave Shea and Molly Holzschlag provide an eye-opening look at the range of design methods made possible by CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). By the time you've finished perusing the volume, you'll have a new understanding of the graphically rich, fully accessible sites that CSS design facilitates. In sections on design, layout, imagery, typography, effects, and themes, Dave and Molly take you through every phase of the design process--from striking a sensible balance between text and graphics to creating eye-popping special effects (no scripting required).
