After a rather tough night - considering the long flight and the jet-lag and that I woke up several times - I was still kind of tired and exhausted in the morning. But an extensive Continental Breakfast at the hotel helped to ease the pain.
The first day at WDN was really great. I already met a bunch of really nice guys and we’re planning to have dinner and some drinks later. There were 3 workshops going on today at the same time, all of them with very interesting topics. I have chosen “CSS + JavaScript = Magic” with experts Aaron Gustafson and Andy Clarke (see picture below).
Both of them took the audience on a journey through CSS and JavaScript, covering the current trends and best practices in terms of how the state-of-the-art web designer/developer can use both to mark-up their code in a semantic way, styling it with some nice and nifty CSS techniques and add some cool behaviour using JavaScript. In the end I was quite satisfied that I was able to follow them - although it might take some deeper look into the specific topics to implement some of the techniques myself.
Alltogether a very nice and useful start. Really looking forward to tomorrows sessions.
I’m glad you enjoyed the session. Thank you for attending!
