Day 1: An Event Apart

So the first day of An Event Apart Boston is over, and I have to say, it was as eye opening as I expected it to be. Granted, there was one presentation that was eye-closing, but that’s probably due to a combination of being after lunch and being boring as hell.

Eric Meyer is the one who’s presentation hit me the best. To loosely quote him: “CSS doesn’t care what you think and element should do.” He followed this by taking a boring old HTML table with boring old data, and then using CSS to make a pretty looking graph. This is not something I would have thought of, but it was done rather well, and it keeps all of the semantic markup you need!

There were some other things thrown in the day that were very good and educational, so I’ve got my mind working overtime right now thinking of the ways I can bring those lessons into my everyday work. More after tomorrow’s sessions!

Still waiting for the promised "more"...

I'll email you my notes in a zip file, so you can read them at your leisure. Sometime tomorrow, I'll be PDF'ing them/putting photos in place/etc.
