Using a Joostrap template, Philip will be explaining & demoing how you wire frame a website right in your browser and why it will save you load's of time. There are no fancy plugins here! This is wire framing for your client, built directly in your browser & saving you untold hours messing around in other software. It is so hard sometimes, trying to get across to a client with a few drawings how the functionality of something could work. Wire framing directly in the browser gives your client a working wireframe/prototype where they can interact with links, pages & concepts. Not only that, but after client approval, you just have to style your working wireframe/prototype or switch to the template that is using the same module positions... It's a win win situation!
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 document discusses ways to accelerate web development using JavaScript with Adobe applications like Photoshop, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and Illustrator. It introduces several scripts and extensions that add JavaScript functionality to these applications. These include scripts for Dreamweaver that generate list tags from plain text and convert single line text, and scripts for Photoshop and Fireworks that generate files from layers and replace web slice names. The document encourages starting to use these scripts today to speed up the web development process.

This document provides an overview of common poor coding practices in WordPress development that can negatively impact compatibility and user experience. It discusses examples like directly modifying core WordPress scripts, directly printing scripts and stylesheets rather than using the enqueue system, and encourages developers to avoid these practices to prevent breaking other plugins, themes or WordPress itself. The presentation aims to make developers aware of these issues and how to develop code that is more considerate of other code on the site.

An overview of web development essentials that will help you as a user experience designer to not only understand how to integrate designs with development components, but also to learn some tips on interacting effectively with developers.
This document provides an overview of building progressive web apps (PWAs). It discusses the key technologies needed for PWAs including manifest files, service workers, and app shells. It provides examples of how to add a manifest to enable installable web apps, how to cache assets using service workers, and how to send push notifications. While Safari and iOS do not fully support these technologies yet, the document notes they are being developed for future releases.
Front End Tooling and Performance is a case study on what I used to make missedin-hkg.com load in less than 1000ms and optimise front end performance in various ways. This talk has been held at the Codeaholics Meetup in Hong Kong on 08. April 2015.
The document discusses how to recreate native mobile controls like those found in apps using jQuery, CSS, and HTML5. It provides examples of recreating controls from Windows Phone 7 like the Panorama and Jump List controls as well as a slide menu and scroll view control. Resources on mobile web development and specifications are also referenced.
The document is about an Italian WordPress conference in 2012. It discusses various topics around WordPress security and performance. Some of the key topics covered include protecting wp-login.php with .htaccess rules, changing the WordPress directory structure for security, using blackholing to block bots, monitoring files for changes, avoiding FTP, using caching and transients, reducing plugins, minifying files, and using a CDN and server tuning.
My talk at #SEOZone 2014 in Istanbul covering various aspects of crawl space optimization such as crawler control & indexation strategies as well as site speed.
This document summarizes an event about WordPress. It introduces two organizers, Giuliano Ambrosio and Maurizio Pelizzone. It provides statistics on WordPress's popularity and features. It outlines WordPress's evolution from a blogging platform to a full content management system and application platform. It discusses potential future directions, including simplifying the interface. Examples are given for different types of WordPress sites. Security tips are also provided. The conclusion is that WordPress is powerful but not a "silver bullet."
Responsive web design has hit the scene like a bomb, and now designers everywhere are showing off to their bosses and peers by resizing their browser windows. "Look! The site is squishy!" While creating flexible layouts is important, there's a whole lot more that goes into truly exceptional adaptive web experiences. This session will introduce the Principles of Adaptive Design: ubiquity, flexibility, performance, enhancement and future-friendliness. We need go beyond media queries in order to preserve the web's ubiquity and move it in a future-friendly direction.
This document is a lecture on JavaScript that discusses core concepts like statements, objects, arrays, functions, events, validation, frameworks, libraries, debugging tools, and compression tools. It provides an overview and references for further reading on topics like the JavaScript language, DOM manipulation, events, validation with regular expressions, and popular JavaScript frameworks and libraries.
This document summarizes the history and evolution of web browsers and internet technologies from the early 1990s to the late 1990s. It traces the development of key browsers like Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. It also outlines the introduction of important web standards like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and XML. Major events included the commercialization of the web in the mid-1990s, the browser wars between Netscape and Microsoft in the late 90s, and the consolidation of online services providers toward the end of the decade.
This document provides an overview of lean prototyping techniques for developing digital products. It discusses wireframing to conceptualize and layout the basic structure and elements of a design. This is followed by prototyping to create interactive versions that can be tested before finalizing designs. Different tools are suggested for wireframing, prototyping, and creating high- and low-fidelity mockups. Collaboration techniques like sharing prototypes and gathering feedback from various stakeholders are also covered.
