Stephen
Looks like a great conference – key workshops like the HTML5/CSS3 one by Molly Holzschalg should be good likewise the best practices one with Aarron Walter. I’m glad conferences like this exist as I know in the enterprise web app world the backend framework often gets built without thinking about how the frontend will be handled.. often to the demise of the application’s maintainability and performance.
Woot! just noticed the Snook session on cross-platform web development – damn if I can’t make this one, I definitely want to make the next one!
