Hi group :) The proposed presentation for the February meeting is "some of the technical aspects of CSS" â a title invented by the good people at WSG to account for my slackness ;)
The presentation I will be giving is "Site in an Hour â Studying the workflow of CSS development". I will be presenting the creation of a simple, yet highly usable/accessible interface using CSS, XHTML and a dash of smoke and mirrors via the DOM. We will start at the layout stage â planning how to chop up an existing layout (photoshop) and create it in CSS using the minimal amount of (hopefully) semantic mark-up. We will take it all the way to completion (time permitting). Each decision along the way will be discussed amongst the group and proposals for other methods of solving the same problems will be noted; from which two layouts will be presented to the web as a whole â my original version and the collaborative version created on the night. Both will be accompanied by a run down on the key decisions and compromises and the thought processes behind those. I'm hoping to chair a group discussion, rather than do the whole 'one way presentation' deal. I don't want to stand up and say 'this is how I do [whatever], therefore you should do the same'; I want to get shouted down by determined CSS freaks and semantics trolls. In other wordsâ bring it on! Then we all learn something new! ;D Hope to see you there :) Andrew. P.S â The now obligatory S5 presentation will go online the afternoon following the presentation. P.P.S -- We're hitting the Pig n' Whistle afterwards - piking out is not an option ;) -------------------------------- http://leftjustified.net/ ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
