It's a Mod World - A Practical Guide to Rocking Modernizr

The document discusses various ways that web performance can be improved, including reducing the number of server requests, minimizing file sizes through compression and minification, leveraging caching, optimizing browser rendering through techniques like deferred parsing of JavaScript, and using tools to automate optimizations. It emphasizes that most of the end user response time is spent in the frontend and recommends starting performance improvements there.

A lecture given at MIT in Boston about the benefits and technicalities of open web standards for Video and Audio. Lots of examples how to manipulate live video using CSS3 and Canvas.

WordPress search customization is a topic we at Seravo get asked about on a frequent basis. There are many different ways to customize the search, and customers understandably want to learn the best practices. The search can be customized quite easily with small changes on PHP code level, and by utilizing MariaDB database’s built-in search functionality. You can also choose a more robust way to do this, and build a new ElasticSearch server just for your case. These slides are from the webinar on January 14th, 2021: https://seravo.com/blog/webinar-search-function-and-how-to-customize-it/

This document provides tips on how to speed up a Joomla site.

Proper optimization can significantly improve page load times and site speeds. The document demonstrates the impact of various optimizations through metrics like load time, page size, and speed scores. Overall optimization is positioned as an ongoing process to keep sites running efficiently.

This document provides an overview of HTML5 and CSS3 features including new semantic HTML5 elements, multimedia capabilities like video and canvas, geolocation, and CSS3 properties for styling like borders, backgrounds, shadows, fonts, transitions and transforms.

This document summarizes Christopher Schmitt's presentation on adaptive images in responsive web design. It discusses using feature testing versus browser sniffing to determine the appropriate image to serve, including testing browser width, screen resolution, and bandwidth. It then covers various techniques for serving adaptive images, such as using .htaccess files, the <picture> element, srcset attributes, and JavaScript libraries. It emphasizes using a mobile-first approach and progressive enhancement to provide the best experience for all devices.

This presentation will introduce Bower, a powerful package manager for libraries, frameworks, and all things front-end. We will cover basic Bower usage, integration into Grunt & Gulp build processes, tooling, and registering custom packages to be used by anyone.

The document discusses a presentation on using Flexbox, SASS, and Mustache templating for building user interfaces. The presentation covers general best practices, using SASS for variables, nesting, mixins and extends, Flexbox for responsive design, and Mustache templating. The presenter is Eric Carlisle, a UI/UX architect who will demonstrate coding techniques with these tools.

This document discusses using WordPress as a backend for building mobile and web applications. It introduces WordPress' REST API which allows accessing WordPress content via HTTP requests. It then outlines how to build a simple mobile-first app called WROPE using the WordPress REST API and the JavaScript library Backbone.js, including setting up models, collections, views and routing to retrieve and display WordPress posts.

Blazor is a new web framework that allows web applications to be written in C# instead of JavaScript. It uses WebAssembly to run .NET code directly in the browser. Developers write Blazor apps using Razor components with HTML and C# code. At runtime, the Blazor runtime compiles the Razor components to WebAssembly, which generates the app's rendering tree and updates the DOM efficiently as the app runs. Blazor provides a way to build interactive client-side web UI using .NET instead of JavaScript.

This presentation provides information about the most common Joomla! attacks and how to protect from them. The basics of securing Joomla! sites are covered in details.

This document discusses using Bower and Grunt together to manage front-end dependencies and files in a workflow. Bower is used to declare and install dependencies, while Grunt plugins like grunt-bowercopy and grunt-contrib-clean are used to copy dependencies to consistent locations and clean files. Setting up this workflow with Bower, grunt-bowercopy, grunt-contrib-clean, and Git can help organize a project's dependencies, facilitate tracking without committing all files, and reduce build times.

1. Defines a single language called HTML5 which can be written in HTML syntax and in XML syntax. It defines detailed processing models to foster interoperable implementations and improves markup for documents and APIs for emerging web applications. 2. Todd Anglin discusses HTML5, CSS3, and techniques for using them today including progressive enhancement, feature detection, and libraries that help support older browsers. 3. He recommends trying a new HTML5/CSS3 technique like data attributes, border radius, box shadow, or animations using CSS transitions.

This document discusses theming WordPress for a showcase portfolio. It begins with an introduction to content management systems and WordPress. It then covers installing WordPress locally, important tools like text editors, and interacting with the database. The document outlines HTML/CSS for content and styling. It discusses building a simple theme with templates, widgets, and customization. Hands-on exercises guide customizing an existing theme.

This document discusses WordPress security best practices. It outlines common threats like injection attacks and cross-site scripting. It recommends server-side measures like proper file permissions, limiting admin access, and monitoring servers. Client-side recommendations include using SSL, blocking PHP execution in directories, and obscuring details in wp-config.php. Specific plugins are also mentioned for enhancing security. Regular backups, updates, and monitoring are advised to help prevent and recover from hacks. The key message is that no system is completely secure, so diligence is important.

The document discusses feedback received on a documentary. The most unexpected feedback was about noisy cars in an interview that could have been reduced. This feedback and examining other shots made the filmmaker realize some themes were represented too strongly. Additional feedback was that the documentary conveyed that youth today are changing their views on faith and religion, and the church could have a place among youth if balanced correctly. Feedback on lighting and lens flares in some shots was not surprising. Overall the feedback provided valuable lessons about obtaining audience perspectives early in the filmmaking process.
