The humble border-radius
by Lea Verou
Warsaw, Poland
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications.
(see abstract)
Abstract:border-radius is humble. It will never show off. Everyone and their cat think they know it well, but it won’t stand up to defend itself. Instead, it will smirk quietly while everybody is busy paying attention to its more flashy siblings, confident in its own skin. border-radius might seem superficially simple, but it can be very powerful. However, its powers are reserved only for those who know how to unleash them. Under its superficial simplicity it hides some of the most complex algorithms in CSS. Intrigued? Come to this talk, and prepare to be surprised.

Web Performance Working Group work: current and upcoming
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications.
- 2013-05-17 (17 MAY)Abstract:As the Web gained adoption as a technology platform over the past 20 years it transformed every industry. We are seeing the next round of those transformations occurring based on the Open Web Platform which is the current set of Web Standards defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). We will discuss how this platform is impacting all industries including Mobile, Web & TV and Digital Publishing. Although the boundaries of the platform continue to evolve, industry leaders speak nearly in unison about how HTML5 is the cornerstone for this platform. But the full strength of the platform relies on many more technologies that W3C and its partners are creating, including CSS, SVG, WOFF, the Semantic Web stack, XML, and a variety of APIs.

Quill: A Collaborative Design Assistant for Cross Platform Web Application User Interfaces
by Dave Raggett and Vivian Motti
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Relevant technology area: Web Design and Applications.
(see abstract)
Abstract:The majority of corporate websites are still not designed to work well on mobile devices. Some companies provide native apps, but these are expensive to develop. The problem is getting worse with new platforms such as tablets, TVs and cars. This talk presents work on an open source browser-based collaborative design assistant that simplifies the development of responsive web applications that work effectively on different platforms. This is based upon an expert system that dynamically updates the user interface design to reflect the developer’s decisions and ensure consistency across platforms. This is implemented in terms of constraint propagation and search through the design space. An additional benefit is the ease of providing accessible user interfaces in conjunction with assistive technologies. - 2013-05-23 (23 MAY)
