HTML. Seriously, HTML.
|
Topic:
HTML is the most basic of all web programming languages, and yet is perhaps the least understood. For years, there has been a movement towards web standards, but even in 2008, there are plenty of legacy applications we must maintain - as well as new applications in development - that do not use proper HTML.
In this presentation, Christian Ready takes us back to the basics to get a better understanding of the HTML language, when to use the correct DOCTYPES, XHTML, and a peek ahead to HTML 5.
Bio:
Christian Ready has been designing and developing web sites since 1996. In his spare time he's an officer in the Civil Air Patrol, the official auxiliary of the United States Air Force, serving as commander of Group II in the Maryland Wing, and flies around a bit as a Mission Observer. Christian holds a bachelor's degree in Astrophysics and worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Even though he stayed on the ground most of the time, it was still a pretty cool gig. He's nuts about web standards, CSS, accessibility, usability, design, ColdFusion, best practices, and a whole host of other buzzwords.
