Workshops

Progressive Enhancement with JavaScript and CSS

Speaker: Aaron Gustafson

Thursday, May 22 - 1:15 pm to 4:00 pm

In this workshop, Aaron Gustafson covers the current best practice in Web standards development: progressive enhancement. Staring with an introduction to the topic, Aaron will walk you through the best ways to apply style and behavior to your pages, all the while providing concrete examples and implementations that you can start using right away.

After this session you will be able to:

manage browsers (and their differing CSS and JS implementations) effectively
determine what content is best delivered explicitly in XHTML and what's best left to CSS
identify obtrusive scripting and right its many wrongs
reduce your scripts' markup dependencies
create scripted interactions which layer perfectly on top of traditional ones
build scripts which enable themselves and their associated styles only when they run properly
