Browser Ferraris, take 2
This month we really will be covering the challenges facing language-learning apps and CSS performance. We'll have a show-and-tell session, drinks and a good time.
We're back on track with the venue and everything's sorted for it to be a great evening.
As always, Haybrook IT are our sponsors, so you have them to thank for the venue and any mild hangovers on Thursday morning. They also happen to be really nice people, so you should totally say hi!
Speakers
Agenda
-
Adam Leskis - Plenty of Free Parking for Ladas at the Bazaar
Using the paradigm of Cathedrals vs Bazaars, this talk will focus on the current state of language learning applications and how they tackle the problem by creating a few complex things (Ferraris) when a focus on creating lots of simple combinable things (Ladas) might be better.
-
Joe Reeve - Full stack minus CSS - How CSS is slowly killing your users
We all have strong opinions on CSS, whether good or bad. CSS can be really helpful, but if you don't think about how it works before writing selectors, you can seriously harm the performance of your page.
We will take a look at browser implementations of CSS selectors and what that means for your CSS.
Please make sure you read and agree to our Code of Conduct before attending.
