A bit about table-hell, the way things used to be in web design, a bit about CSS 2.1, which is supposed to be how we do things now, and a bit about how it might be in the future if CSS Template Layout Module has anything to say about it. That’s what my presentation was about at the Fronteers Teachers Day. The Fronteers Teachers day was organized specifically for educators interested in incorporating web standards into their curriculum(s).

Web Guidelines at Zinformatie
I’ll be speaking tomorrow in Utrecht, Netherlands on truths and myths regarding the Dutch Web Guidelines. I’d like to speak more about design in front-end development, but I guess the Web Guidelines are hot, and since I had a role in producing them, I get asked to talk about them. A lot.
As with any usability or accessibility guidelines, there are some myths which keep rearing their heads. These myths came to be in the minds of clients, mostly because because of what these clients have been told by hack, unprofessional front-end developers. You know, the kind who design websites based on what their framework or CMS is able to handle in its more or less standard form; god forbid these developers should know the faintest thing about decent markup. I’m tired of hearing what’s not possible within accessibility guidelines, especially when it’s simply untrue.
We’ll be talking about that.
For the Dutch among you, read more on the Zinformatie website.
Logeion slides online
Apologies to any attendees of my presentation for Logeion who expected to find the slides on this site. You might have had trouble, because while I did add them to the site, I was flaky enough *not* to add them to the Presentations page. Somehow I doubt anyone lost sleep over it, but you can find the slides there now.
