CSS3 for Working Web Designers
The new advances in CSS3 have the potential to open more possibilities and opportunities for designers to create rich and customizable Web experiences. However, because CSS3 is an emerging standard, not all browsers have implemented the same parts of CSS3 or in the same manner. What Web developers need today is a guide to understand both what they can use now and what they will be able to use in the future. Who better a guide than the person who created CSS and edits the specification? In this discussion, Håkon Wium Lie, Chief Technology Officer for Opera Software, will describe the advances in CSS3, what Web developers can do in today’s modern browsers and what is fast approaching on the horizon.

Easily the most useful session of the entire conference, from my point of view.
This was an interesting presentation – it featured both history and forward thinking. Slides detailing CERN and Tim Berners-Lee’s first web terminal were fun to see. It was also interesting to hear about the history of CSS standards from someone so intimately involved in creating them. Nice insights into what’s available for use today. Hope the slides get posted…
A good and easy-to-get presentation of interesting content. Veldig bra!
