Creating Living Style Guides to Improve PerformanceNicole Sullivan
Refactoring Trulia’s UI with SASS, OOCSS, and handlebars. My slides from jsconf 2013. Lot's of yummy details about the performance improvements we were able to make.
We keep thinking we can write better CSS if we just try harder, that the next site will be clean and stay that way. This presentation shows that in fact, messy CSS is the direct result of our worst best-practices. We need to reexamine those assumptions with an eye to practicality and scalability as well as accessibility, standards, and fabulous design.
The JavaScript community is one of the most vibrant and fun groups I've ever been lucky enough to be a part of. Like any vibrant community, sometimes people don't play nicely. In this session, I will discuss what it has been like to be shy *and* be on twitter, mailing lists, and open source. I'll talk about my experiences consulting on massive CSS overhauls, and ways to defeat trolls -- including your own inner troll! I'll also share a timing attack for your brain that might just surprise you.
How do you scale CSS for millions of visitors or thousands of pages? The slides from Nicole's presentation at Web Directions North in Denver will show you how to use Object Oriented CSS to write fast, maintainable, standards-based front end code. Adds much needed predictability to CSS so that even beginners can participate in writing beautiful, standards-compliant, fast websites.
This document discusses the concept of flipped learning, where direct instruction is moved from group learning spaces to individual learning spaces. Some key points include:
- Flipped learning relies on moving lectures outside of class time via videos or other methods so class time can be used for hands-on activities, projects, discussions, and addressing students' questions.
- It allows for a more personalized learning experience through differentiation and allowing students to learn at their own pace.
- The approach can be applied to various subjects like math, science, literature and writing, and social sciences. Guidance is provided on designing flipped units and lessons.
This slideshow, presented in July 2013 at #ASNEKent13, shows digital storytelling tools high school journalists can incorporate in their media programs. The presentation also explains how using interactive tools addresses 21st Century Skills and includes some simple suggestions for how advisers can introduce these tools. *I tried to remove all animations and it turns out that the slide headers are still animated — my apologies!
The document lists various social media and communication platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs, websites, and Skype. It encourages staying connected through these platforms and provides contact information for them. It also provides a listserv and contact details for any questions, comments, concerns or complaints. The purpose is to provide resources for staying connected online through different communication channels.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurs in a changing world. Some key points discussed include the importance of adaptability, new technologies like the quantified self and internet of things, the role of social media in marketing, and maintaining focus on core priorities rather than trying to do too many things at once. The overall message is that success for entrepreneurs comes from adapting to changing conditions rather than being the strongest or smartest.
The document discusses whether news brands can learn from commercial brands. It examines the key qualities of great brands like purpose, ideas, stories, and playfulness using examples from Durex, Lego, Dyson, and Redbull. The document suggests news brands could benefit by focusing more on these brand-building techniques.
1. The document discusses how brands can plan for different types of moments on Twitter, including everyday moments, live moments, and connected moments.
2. Everyday moments like shopping or running can be planned for based on typical conversation volume patterns. Live moments like sports games or awards shows present opportunities for engagement.
3. Connected moments occur when Twitter usage aligns with other media like TV, allowing brands to optimize campaigns across multiple screens. Planning for the moment allows brands to maximize relevance and engagement.
The document contains advertisements promoting a service called Voplanet that helps users find work without an agent. It emphasizes that users can keep more money by avoiding paying agent commissions of 10-20% and will have access to higher paying clients and more work opportunities. Images accompany most entries with slogans like "agency liberation" and "ditch the agent" and promote a more fruitful career without an agent taking a cut.
1) The document discusses 5 steps to deliver emotionally charged performances: practice connecting with the audience emotionally rather than focusing solely on technical perfection, perform from the heart, bridge the gap between artist and audience, avoid being too concerned with technicality, and aim for an emotional connection.
2) It emphasizes the importance of emotional delivery and connection over technique alone, and suggests incorporating a personal backstory to help form that connection.
3) Achieving the right balance of technical skill and emotional expression can elevate a performance from good to legendary.
1) The document discusses 5 steps to deliver emotionally charged performances: practice connecting with the audience emotionally rather than focusing solely on technical perfection, perform from the heart, bridge the gap between artist and audience, avoid being too concerned with technicality, and aim for an emotional connection.
2) It emphasizes letting emotion drive performance rather than technical precision alone. Successful performances transcend from artistic to legendary by emotionally involving the audience.
3) A number of images are provided as visual examples contrasting emotional, soulful performances with those that are merely technically proficient but lack emotional connection or expression.

Recent presentation at Tokyo incubator, Venture Generation.
This document discusses concerns about Pandora and their treatment of songwriters. It notes that writing songs is expensive due to costs of studios, engineers, producers, publishers, labels, and managers. However, Pandora wants to pay their service providers (songwriters) less. It claims Pandora does not care about songwriters, is waging war against them, lies about company decisions, and will not sign deals that benefit songwriters unlike other independent radio companies. It further argues that while technology has increased ways people listen to music, Pandora only cares about money. It suggests Pandora purchases radio stations to pay less in royalties and increase profits, rather than supporting songwriters.
This document discusses restaurants that ban children. It provides three reasons some restaurants institute these bans: 1) To avoid disruption to other diners' experiences from noise, 2) Research showing children's vocabulary increases more when using educational apps on tablets compared to TV, and 3) Tablets and apps keep children occupied and engaged instead of disruptive noises. It also notes that an iPad can help keep families off "black lists" by keeping children occupied without disturbing other diners.
Let’s admit it, the tools for writing CSS aren’t very advanced. For the most part, the people who write tools don’t know about CSS and the people who know about CSS don’t write tools. Quite a conundrum!
In this session, you’ll learn about good tools that can make development faster and maintenance easier. We’ll also talk a bit about where we can go from here.
What tools do we need as sites are becoming more and more complex? We need to get beyond tools whose primary goal is to avoid hand-coding and realize that, as our techniques for writing CSS become more powerful, our tools can too! Session will include:
* Validators
* Preprocessors
* Finding dead rules
* Linting
* CSS3 gradient tools
* Performance measurement tools
* Unit testing
Nicole Sullivan and Stoyan Stefanov discuss their work optimizing CSS at Facebook and Yahoo!, As well as the state of CSS optimizations in the Alexa Top 1000 websites. What a mess!
From Velocity Conference and Texas-Javascript.
From Nicole's talk at JSConf.eu where she presented her wish list for the future of CSS. She presents a brand-new expanded syntax which allows for prototypes, mixins, and variables and explains how a preprocessor can be used today to achieve a richer language in older browsers.
The Cascade, Grids, Headings, and Selectors from an OOCSS Perspective, Ajax ...Nicole Sullivan
The cascade is a poker game, but we've been playing our cards all wrong. Here Nicole suggests we stop trying to play to win to prevent code bloat, and simplify the cascade, using the order of the rulesets to allow overrides.
From Nicole's presentation at the CSS Summit. This is brand new research regarding efficient CSS selector design. Practicing the rules outlined here will make your CSS lean, your site fast, and your maintenance minimal. A beautiful combination for people concerned with building performance into their sites.
You've got a sneaking suspicion that design impacts performance. What next? Your engineers know nothing about design and your designers know nothing about performance. How can you get everyone on the same page? Which design flaws must you absolutely avoid? How do engineers slow designs with poor CSS? This presentation covers the best practices in design and OO CSS for fast, maintainable sites.
* Abstraction
* Flexibility
* Grids
* Location dependent styles
Velocity Conference, 2009
This document discusses object-oriented CSS (OOCSS) as an evolution of CSS that makes it more powerful. OOCSS involves creating reusable CSS objects rather than page-specific rules, setting good global defaults, abstracting reusable elements, separating container and content, and using multiple classes to simulate inheritance. This allows for more scalable, maintainable and performant CSS code. Some best practices of OOCSS include creating semantic object classes like .heading rather than styling specific elements directly. The document provides examples of OOCSS principles and their benefits.
Nicole Sullivan gives a presentation on designing fast websites. She discusses why performance matters, how websites have grown more complex over time, and how poor performance can negatively impact businesses. She provides several best practices for optimizing websites, such as creating reusable components, using consistent styles, making modules transparent, optimizing images through sprites and compression, avoiding non-standard fonts and using columns instead of rows.
The 7 Habits of Exceptional Performance discusses techniques for optimizing website performance. It recommends flushing the buffer early, using GET requests for AJAX, preloading components, avoiding filters, measuring performance metrics, and balancing new features with performance improvements. High performance should be baked into the development process from the start. Key metrics to track include page weight, response time, and HTTP requests.
The document discusses 20 additional best practices for improving web performance beyond the original 14 recommendations from YSlow. It covers techniques like flushing the buffer early, splitting components for post-loading, preloading necessary assets, reducing unnecessary DOM elements, optimizing images through techniques like converting to smaller file formats and using CSS sprites, and designing for mobile performance. The document provides examples and case studies to illustrate the recommendations and cites additional resources on web performance.
Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications
