CSS Takes on the World. In the war chest of the web developer, there is Photoshop, HTML, JavaScript, and, of course, CSS. While CSS started off with a minor role, it is increasingly taking over. This session will review the latest and greatest; how we can apply it to projects right now; and what we can expect to have available to us in the future as CSS continues to take over the world!

Maybe it started off innocently with the hover pseudo selector, but CSS has been slowly creeping onto JavaScript's turf. Now CSS has become much bigger now and is increasingly doing things that we used jQuery for. Jonathan Snook's session will take a look at what CSS3 has to offer and how it compares to using jQuery.

CSS3. Browsers have been making leaps and bounds to support CSS3 but what does that mean exactly? CSS3 is a deep and still-evolving standard that is made of multiple parts. We'll take a look at what those parts are, what browsers currently support, and what we can expect in the future.

The Type We Want. Using your choice of fonts on the web is coming of age. Historically, we've had to make do with a small, safe list of font choices or use images to get more imaginative. From there, we've seen the rise of Flash-based and canvas-based font embedding. CSS3 holds new promise and browsers are implementing the features we need to accomplish easier font embedding on the web. There's still plenty of obstacles and confusion and this session will shed some light on the dark art of font embedding on the web.

Building on the Shoulders of Giants. Even in the early days, developers had libraries of code that they could bring into their project. Today, this level of sharing has proliferated to every level of development from frameworks, to APIs, from client-side to server-side. Companies such as Google, Yahoo, AOL are opening up their data. This session will examine the pros and cons to building on top of these giants, delve into the tools that are available, and look at how quickly applications can be deployed.

Working with Ajax Frameworks. It seems like there’s a new Ajax library or JavaScript frame­work com­ing out every week, and there prob­a­bly is! Which is the best one to pick? Will you be up the creek with­out a pad­dle if you choose the wrong one? “Working with Ajax Frameworks” will delve into some com­mon Ajax design pat­terns and how var­i­ous frame­works can be used to meet those needs. We’ll also take a look at how we can keep our own code flex­i­ble as we bridge the gap between it and the var­i­ous frameworks.
