Chris Heilmann gave a keynote address at SmashingConf discussing issues with modern web development. He expressed frustration with frameworks prioritizing new features over compatibility, developers focusing only on the latest technologies and platforms, and the web becoming fragmented across closed platforms. However, he advocated improving support for older browsers through tools like Enterprise Mode on IE, prioritizing performance, accessibility, and building for all users rather than just those on new devices.

The original vision for TB-L was to create a collaborative medium and place where people could meet, read and write together. However, with the rise of the internet and technologies like searchability, persistence of information, replicability of content, and invisible audiences, the ability to control how information is shared and with whom has diminished greatly over time. As these technologies developed, users lost more and more control over the data they put online and how it could potentially be accessed and used by others.

We're past the honeymoon period of HTML5 by now. The excitement of inflated promises is over and we start wondering what to do – use HTML5 or just build an iOS app instead? In this talk Chris Heilmann of Mozilla will show what HTML5 is really good for, what its problems are, what causes a lot of these problems and how new operating systems like Firefox OS work and conversion tools like PhoneGap work around these issues. You'll see the now of HTML5 and what is cooking in the kitchens of browser makers and standards bodies that will developing and deploying apps cross-platform much easier than it is now. We have a lot of tools at our disposal, we simply need to dare to use them.

- Does the word "Mosaic" conjure up fond memories of pages upon pages with grey background and blue links, rather than fancy glass pictures? - Did you use AOL diskettes as coasters? - Did you last touch JavaScript back when
The web has become saturated with design trends that follow the same patterns, and use the same design systems. If we were to leverage ideas from other mediums, the web would be a much more interesting place.
Dégooglisons Internet (Ungooglize Internet) is a project by Framasoft, a non-profit promoting free and open source software and culture. Degooglisons Internet has 3 goals: * Rise the level of awareness among mainstream Internet users about the risks of excessive centralization of the web by corporate giants such as Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. * Provide a proof of concept that free and open source software is a sustainable solution to the problem. Framasoft launched a campaign to provide and promote free and libre alternatives, respecting data and user privacy. For every service mass-collecting user data (eg. Facebook,Google Docs, Dropbox, Skype, etc.), Framasoft is offering free/libre, ethic and decentralized alternatives. * Spread knowledge, practice and services with tutorials and federate alternate independent hosting services. The more free/libre services will be provided, the more decentralized the internet will remain.

The document discusses the evolution of the late medieval Church in England from the period of conversion to the Reformation. It argues that the Church responded to the needs of the people by undergoing a process of "democratization". This involved increasing lay involvement and questioning of officials. Tensions arose as religious practices proliferated without authority and individuals constructed their own religious beliefs. The Church's monopoly on learning and ability to maintain orthodoxy weakened. Ultimately, the Church was overcome by the very forces it once opposed as it shifted priority from avoiding worldly contamination to caring for souls.

Este documento resume el capítulo VI del libro "Tipos psicológicos" de C.G. Jung. En él, Jung resume la teoría del psiquiatra Otto Gross sobre la existencia de dos tipos psicológicos basados en la duración de la "función secundaria" cerebral después de una función primaria. Gross propone que un tipo tiene una función secundaria breve, lo que lleva a rasgos extravertidos, mientras que el otro tipo tiene una función secundaria prolongada, con rasgos más introvertidos. Jung amplía esta teoría al campo de la psic

The document summarizes key points from a presentation given by Chris Heilmann at SmashingConf NYC in June 2015. Some of the main ideas discussed include: - The web has become overly complex with too many frameworks, tools, libraries, and content being produced. - As developers, we tend to build for ourselves and our peers rather than for general users, focusing more on recognition than usability. - The assumptions we have about users' knowledge and engagement levels with technology often do not match reality. - Despite advances, the modern web experience can be cluttered, slow, and difficult for many users. - There are opportunities to simplify and improve the web by removing unnecessary code and technologies.
My closing talk for this year's Fronteers conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands about just how cool it is to be someone who builds things for the web.
The document summarizes key points from a talk given by Chris Heilmann at SmashingConf NYC in June 2015. Some of the main ideas discussed include: how developers have created an echo chamber focused on tools and recognition rather than users; how the web has become cluttered and broken despite new technologies; and how detecting users through user-agent sniffing and reliance on non-standard features has perpetuated problems. The talk calls for a renewed focus on users, standards compliance, and cleaning up old and unnecessary code to improve the web.
The document discusses how developers have become disconnected from users as technology has advanced. It argues that developers should focus on building interfaces that are simple, human-centered, and empower users rather than just improving tools. Machine learning and AI can be used to build helpful interfaces, but developers must focus on the human experience and inclusive design. The talk aims to inspire developers to use their skills to improve people's lives rather than just profit or automation.
This document discusses issues with modern web development and provides suggestions for improvement. It notes that web pages have become bloated with dependencies, frameworks hinder interoperability, and desktop and mobile solutions are disappointing. Conferences provide conflicting messages about tools and standards. JavaScript intolerance causes problems, and browsers spend resources fixing developers' code. The document advocates focusing on usability over new features, embracing limitations, using existing browser capabilities, and fixing baseline issues rather than trying to control everything. It suggests the next users will not demand native-like experiences and that growth is happening outside tech hubs with different rules. The document encourages contributing to the web in many ways and embracing imperfections.
This document discusses progressing web development and applications. It talks about some common criticisms of the web, including that browsers differ too much and the web is too flexible. However, it argues that browser differences allow for innovation and flexibility is one of the web's strengths. It promotes an approach of focusing on capabilities rather than browsers. The document also discusses progressing technologies like service workers and progressive web apps that can make applications work offline and feel more like native apps while still being web-based. It concludes by arguing the web is not going away and is a great platform to build upon.
In the last year or so things changed drastically. Everybody uses an iPhone6, is connected 24/7 at high-speed without data caps, is healthy, has shiny teeth and loves spending money on your products. All you need to do is constantly innovate and you'll be a major success. The term for this is "the modern web". Another word for it is nonsense. There is a web people want and there is one that people use. We should start thinking about upgrading the one people use and stop chasing our own tail trying to mimick other environments.
A talk about future technologies of the web, and how our time is equally well spent cleaning up the web of now.
A presentation questioning why we keep fighting the same fights as web developers when there are a lot more important things to worry about.
The document discusses the evolution of the web from progressive web apps to native mobile apps and back again to progressive web apps. It notes that early mobile web faced issues like small screens, poor connectivity and unreliable browsers, leading to the rise of native apps. However, app distribution issues like slow updates and the "walled garden" approach of app stores have led to a renewed interest in progressive web apps that work offline but do not require app stores, allowing for more open distribution like the original web.
As developers, we always have to battle people and media overselling what we do. Just because we use things other people don't understand doesn't mean we use magic. Yet if you look at any "near future" video of cool technology everything is incredibly smooth. We, on the other hand, seem to be far too excited about things breaking and trying to find solutions for any problem - no matter how unlikely it is to happen. In this keynote Chris Heilmann wants to remind us about what we have, what we can do and just how amazing our work really is. And what we can do to keep it like that.
A quick reminder of how we make it too complex for ourselves as web developers these days, and how changes in the browser world mean mainly one thing: build to standards.

A talk about innovation and impostor syndrome. A talk about the next web that's coming and the technology we have, but forgot.
The way people experience the web will see dramatic change in response to new tools, expectations and constraints in the coming years. This session will highlight some major forces shaping our medium and lead us in thinking about how we should expect to evolve what we deliver in light of changes in hardware, mobile, wearable, data, and software among others. We will look to parallels in architecture, aircraft and other technologies and suggest future trends that will evolve. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the changing nature of our environment and the impact of all of these forces and is appropriate for anyone working in this field who is interested in what the future may bring. Attendees will leave ready to make their own decisions about how best to embrace these forces in their own work.
