It’s Molly!
September 12, 2006We’re pleased as punch to announce that author, teacher, and web standards evangelist Molly E. Holzschlag will join us onstage at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown for An Event Apart Austin, speaking on a subject she calls …
From the Content, Out
You read and hear a lot about semantic markup and structure, but how does one achieve a truly meaningful, minimal markup document? Molly’s answer is: From the content, out.
In this insightful hour, Molly Holzschlag will demonstrate how working with the content to identify its meaning helps you properly mark that content up. This technique is valuable for numerous reasons: it helps reduce overuse of divs and keeps the document extremely lightweight and easy to style. What’s more, content-out markup can assist with efficient and agile workflow, as it is a process that is completely independent from design.
