Developers: Saving the Web From Your Dick Move

Event Interactive 2011
Format Panel
Organizer Jenn Lukas Happy Cog
Description This panel will take a look at some of the top front-end travesties on the web that make us developers scratch our heads; from mistakes of HTML 5 implementations to browser text resize fail to why CSS frameworks are not the answer. We will explore these enemy practices and provide solutions to solve these issues , and more, without the help of either halves of the power sword. We will take a look at some of the heavy hitters on the web and take a look at what they are doing wrong from a front-end development point of view and then provide solutions to these commonly seen offenses. We will debate and determine some of the best new practices to take on for your development, while keeping web standards in mind. You will hear from each of the five of us on our "favorite" examples of misinformed development. All these examples will provide you, our fellow internet makers, with some good take home practices. As well explore a healthy, way to examine the internet and to question it, to keep pushing toward the best web we can make and keep coding standards high. We are all in this together!
