A Great Year For Web Design and An Event Apart
July 14, 2010Millions of Webkit-powered smart phones sold—phones that understand HTML5 and CSS3. Millions of consumers who access web content via iPhone, Droid, iPad, and browsers, wherever they are and whenever they have two minutes to spare. Addressing this changed audience is the challenge of web design in 2010. And nobody addresses that challenge better than An Event Apart, with a 2010 speaker and topic lineup that cuts right to the heart of what you need to know now.
The Topics You Need For Web Design in 2010
An Event Apart achieves this level of relevancy via topics like “Mobile First!” with Luke Wroblewski, former design chief design architect for Yahoo!, who explains the three reasons web applications should be designed for mobile before you even think about designing the desktop PC version.
We stay focused on web design’s new challenges as leading designers and CSS experts Eric Meyer, Andy Clarke, Ethan Marcotte, and Dan Cederholm cover the ins and outs of CSS3—including reconfiguring your page layout to suit the device on which it’s viewed, via flexible grids, flexible images, and CSS3 media queries.
Above all, we focus on creating great user experiences, as illuminated by Whitney Hess, Aarron Walter, Kristina Halvorson, Jared Spool, Erin Malone, Jeremy Keith, Jeffrey Veen, and Jeffrey Zeldman.
Our First Three Shows of 2010 Sold Out
This emphasis on cutting-edge skills and emerging best practices as taught by many of our field’s leading lights may be why every An Event Apart show this year—Seattle, Boston, and now Minneapolis—has sold out.
If you’ve missed your chance to attend these events, you’ll be happy to know that there are still two more opportunities to attend An Event Apart in 2010: a three-day show September 16-18, in Washington, DC; and a two-day event November 1-2, in beautiful San Diego, California.
The DC show includes A Day Apart, an optional one-day learning event on HTML5 and CSS3, taught by Jeremy Keith (author, HTML5 For Web Designers) and Ethan Marcotte (co-author, Designing With Web Standards, 3rd Edition and Handcrafted CSS). Visit aneventapart.com to learn more. You can register just for An Event Apart or just for A Day Apart — or save over $100 when you register for all three days.
Tickets for An Event Apart DC and An Event Apart San Diego are first-come, first-served, and, judging by how things have gone in the first half of the year, both shows will sell out. Don’t miss your chance to master the new techniques and opportunities of web design in 2010. Register today!
