• Pushing the Cutting Edge Forward

  by Divya Manian

  We are at the throes of something amazing and powerful that the web
  makes available, but it needs our help! Not all proposals are helpful,
  and not all problems are seen as challenges by those who implement web
  standards. Standards evolve as a dialog with its vital audience: the
  developers. Learn how to contribute, give feedback, and be vocal about
  the change you want to see on the web.

  it easier to program CSS and JavaScript. This session will take you
  through some of the features from both languages, and also how to
  integrate these into ASP.NET.

• CSS in the 4th Dimension: Not your daddy's CSS animations

  by Lea Verou

  CSS2.1 was two dimensional: There was no concept of depth or time. CSS3 brings us some control over both, with transitions and animations for the latter. In this talk we will start from the basics of these new specifications, but will quickly move to more advanced tips and tricks to fully leverage these exciting technologies. The talk will follow Lea’s trademark presentation style, which has been praised by audiences all over Europe.
