Input is constantly evolving and expanding beyond traditional keyboard and mouse. The document discusses 7 principles for adapting web design to different inputs: 1. Design for the largest target by default. 2. Design for modes of interaction instead of specific inputs. 3. Make designs accessible to all inputs. 4. Support multiple concurrent inputs. 5. Abstract baseline inputs like tap, click, and point. 6. Progressively enhance with new inputs like gestures and sensors. 7. Include different inputs in testing plans. The key message is that input cannot be detected, is a continuum, and is always changing. Web design needs to be adaptable and not assume certain inputs based on device properties.

This document discusses the differences between CSS and JavaScript and when each is most appropriate to use. It argues that CSS is often underestimated in favor of JavaScript solutions. CSS has advanced significantly with features like calc(), media queries, animations/transitions, flexbox, grid, variables and more. These powerful features allow many tasks to be accomplished with CSS alone without needing JavaScript. The document encourages embracing the "squishiness" of the web and considering CSS more when building interfaces.

Presentation by Clarissa Peterson for LVL Studio's UX Soiree, November 21, 2012, in Montreal, Quebec. Overview of responsive design with focus on user experience.

The document summarizes key techniques for responsible responsive web design, including building mobile-first responsive designs, keeping CSS images in their place, conditionally loading JavaScript based on screen size and capabilities, delivering different sized images at different screen sizes, and handling high-density images carefully. It also discusses debates around whether a one-size-fits-all responsive approach can compete with a tailored experience and ensuring responsive designs are optimized for performance.

Responsive web design allows a single website to be accessed from any device by dynamically adjusting the layout depending on screen size. The content remains the same across devices but is formatted appropriately for each screen width through techniques like adjusting column numbers and widths. Designing first for mobile forces focus on essential content and ensures parity across devices. Examples demonstrate how navigation, images and text restructure seamlessly for an optimized experience on any device.

A talk about future technologies of the web, and how our time is equally well spent cleaning up the web of now.

The document discusses responsive web design and mobile-first approaches. It advocates building responsive designs with a mobile-first mindset, where the mobile version is prioritized and expanded upon for larger screens rather than the desktop version being scaled down. It also emphasizes performance techniques like keeping images out of breakpoints to avoid unnecessary downloads, and using media queries to scope images to only the viewports that need them. The overall message is that responsive design should consider both layout and performance to provide the best experience across devices.

The document discusses concepts related to government services in the Web 2.0 era, including openness, collaboration, and community. It covers topics such as blogging, wikis, discussion groups, group chat, and using platforms and APIs to encourage sharing of data and user identity between sites. This allows third-party applications and mashups to access and utilize the data in new and innovative ways. The goal is to engage citizens and encourage collaboration between government and the public.

The document discusses several topics related to technology, architecture, and consumer needs. It provides advice on balancing enterprise needs with consumer innovation, adopting a consumer-oriented approach to architecture, and understanding human capacity and context to build effective solutions.

JavaScript is a bigger world than a language these days. Time to take stock and find happiness in that world.

This document discusses artificial intelligence and how it can help humans. It covers that AI is not new, having originated in the 1950s, and is now more advanced due to increased computing power. It also discusses how AI utilizes pattern recognition and machine learning. The document then covers several applications of AI including computer vision, natural language processing, sentiment analysis, speech recognition/conversion and moderation. It notes both the benefits of AI in automating tasks and preventing errors, as well as the responsibilities of ensuring transparency and allowing people to opt-in to algorithms.

The document discusses concerns about the perception and realities of coding careers. It expresses worry that coding is seen solely as a way to get a job rather than as a means of problem-solving. While coding can provide fulfilling work, the document cautions that the need for coders may decrease with automation and that the role may evolve from coding to engineering. It suggests a future where machines assist with repetitive coding tasks and people focus on delivering maintainable, secure products with attention to privacy and user experience.

PWA are a hot topic and it is important to understand that they are a different approach to apps than the traditional way of packaging something and letting the user install it. In this keynote you'll see some of the differences.

This document discusses privilege in technology and perceptions of technology workers. It acknowledges the privileges that tech workers enjoy, such as access to resources and high demand in the job market. However, it also notes problems like peer pressure, lack of work-life balance, and imposter syndrome. Both tech workers and the public have skewed perceptions of each other - tech workers feel others do not appreciate or understand their work, while the public sees tech workers as antisocial or caring only about profit. The document encourages taking small steps to improve the situation, such as being kind to oneself, considering others, sharing knowledge, and focusing on quality over quantity of work.

The document provides five ways for JavaScript developers to be happier: 1) Concentrate on the present and focus on creating rather than worrying about the past or future. 2) Limit distractions by streamlining your development environment and using an editor like VS Code that consolidates features. 3) Make mistakes less likely by using linters to catch errors as you code. 4) Get to know your tools better like debuggers to avoid console.log and gain insights to build better solutions. 5) Give back to others in the community by being helpful rather than causing drama.

The document discusses progressive web apps (PWAs) and provides suggestions for improving them. It notes that while PWAs aim to have engaging, fast, integrated, and reliable experiences like native apps, they still have room for improvement in areas like speed, integration, and reliability. It emphasizes that PWAs should adhere to web best practices and provide actually useful experiences rather than just focusing on technical features. The document encourages helping the PWA effort by providing feedback, using and contributing to tools, keeping messaging up-to-date, and promoting high-quality examples.

Chris Heilmann gave a talk at BTConf in Munich in January 2018 about machine learning, automation worries, and coding. He discussed how coding used to refer to creative programming within technical limitations but now often refers to programming for work. He addressed common worries about new technologies and dependencies, and argued that abstractions are not inherently bad and help more people build products together through consensus. The talk focused on using tools to be more productive and enabling rather than seeing them as dangers, and creating solutions for users rather than fighting old approaches.

The document provides advice and encouragement for someone starting out with JavaScript development. It discusses how JavaScript can be used in many environments like browsers, apps, and servers. It recommends resources like MDN and tools like linting to help avoid mistakes. It emphasizes that this is an exciting time for JavaScript and advises setting priorities and standards, being involved in the community, and bringing new voices and perspectives.

Keynote at halfstackconf 2017 discussing the falsehood of the idea that in order to survive the automation evolution everybody needs to learn how to code. Machines can code, too.

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) can provide app-like experiences through the web by making web content fast, reliable and engaging. While PWAs may not be necessary for all projects, they can help clean up and speed up current web-based projects. PWAs leverage new web capabilities like service workers to work offline, load fast, and improve the user experience without having to meet all the requirements of native apps.

This document discusses progressive web applications (PWAs) and their advantages over traditional native mobile applications. PWAs use modern web capabilities like Service Workers to deliver native-like experiences to users. Some key benefits of PWAs include their ability to work across platforms, have smaller file sizes for faster loading, support offline use, and provide simple update mechanisms compared to native apps. While PWAs do not have full access to device capabilities like native apps, they allow delivering app-like web content to users in a more accessible and reliable manner than traditional web pages.

Keynote at PNWPHP covering Machine Learning and How we should go about using it to build human interfaces.

This document discusses progressive web apps (PWAs). It notes that PWAs aim to make web apps feel like native mobile apps by being discoverable, installable, linkable, safe, responsive and progressive. The document outlines some key characteristics of PWAs, including that they need to be served from secure origins and have app manifests. It also discusses some common misconceptions around PWAs and notes that as PWAs improve, they will continue to blur the line between web apps and native mobile apps.

This document provides tips for becoming an effective conference presenter. It discusses finding a topic to present on, writing a proposal to submit to conferences, creating presentation materials, writing the presentation, and delivering the presentation.

The overall goal is to give attendees a memorable experience that leaves them feeling they learned something valuable.

The document discusses the future of computing and artificial intelligence. It notes that people are both excited and fearful about technological progress, and outlines things that are going right (e.g. advances in machine learning and computer vision) as well as things that are going wrong (e.g. lack of transparency, data privacy issues). It argues that the future of computing needs people who are not afraid of technology and who will create interfaces that are simple, human, and help people communicate better. The role of technologists is to use their skills to give people a sense of data ownership and ensure technological progress improves lives rather than just making money.

The document discusses using JavaScript like a buffet, where developers should be flexible and not try to do everything with JavaScript or force their preferences on others. It encourages sharing code openly but also being considerate of different environments and users. Developers are advised to focus on quality over quantity and consider progressive enhancement over delivering all functionality at once.
