I just finished Day 1 of Future of Web Design here in NYC and wanted to post my slides before I crashed for the night. Enjoy!

This past week, Kelly and I were in Brooklyn for the ExpressionEngine CodeIgniter conference. We had a great time, met some awesome people, and I got to talk about my favorite topic: progressive enhancement.

You may not have noticed, but we just turned this blog on it’s head, design-wise. Those of you browsing on something other than a desktop browser should now be enjoying a much better reading experience. Here’s what’s changed and how we did it.

I've been cautioning folks against over-reliance on JavaScript for the better part of a decade. Apparently Gawker didn't get the memo.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: “HTML5 and CSS3 do not have enough browser support to start using them today.” Or, how about this one: “We still have to support IE6, so using advanced CSS techniques would be a wasted effort.”

By default (or at least in the default configuration provided under the LG TinyMCE extension for ExpressionEngine), TinyMCE will remove the alt attribute if it is empty. Obviously, for accessibility and validation reasons, this is highly undesirable and needs correcting.

I just wrapped my presentation at WebVisions and have posted the slides for my talk, titled “Learning to Love Forms,” up on SlideShare.

There’s been some great discussion surrounding my latest article for A List Apart. It is amazing to see how some people get the idea of progressive enhancement and some just don’t (or perhaps refuse to).

Today marked the last day of my “work” here at SXSW and now it’s play time. It’s only been two days of the conference, but it seems like I’ve already done a week’s worth of stuff. My two sessions both went extremely well from my perspective and the feedback I’ve received has also been very good so far.
