Come Together for a Rich Web Experience

The Rich Web Experience is a show I’m really getting excited for. I’ll tell you why.

I know nothing about JavaScript and Web applications in the real world. And I’m aching to learn!

And wow, I get to do that from people such as Douglas Crockford and Alex Russell. If you do anything with front end web development or browser technology, they are both worth a very serious listen. Not to mention the fantastic line-up that RWE has put together.

I’ll be reviving the popular keynote I did in Vancouver in February “WSI: Web Standards Investigations” as well as presenting on Web browsers and standards. I’m giving a workshop on CSS, too.

Here’s my schedule:

  • KEYNOTE – WSI: Crimes Against Web Standards
    Web standards investigators: Get your crime scene gear on and help Molly dig up the dirt on crimes committed against web standards. Molly will demonstrate markup and CSS samples from her own felonious work dating back to 1993, as well as the work of other infamous standardistas before they got rehabilitated and let standards into their hearts.
  • Markup & CSS for Developers: Empowering the Application Developer with Front End Magic
    As a developer you’ll probably be tasked with technical concerns such as streamlining file size, optimizing http requests, and ensuring that your web sites and apps remain manageable and flexible. You also need to step in and modify style and even create visual interfaces for your apps. Markup and CSS for Developers is a 90 minute presentation aimed directly at dealing with CSS from a developer’s point of view.
  • The Broken World: Solving the Browser Problem Once and For All
    The Web was meant to be interoperable, but as every web designer and developer knows, interoperability is the very thing we lack. As we build standards-based, flexible, accessible, well-designed sites, we find it’s the browser that gives us most of our headaches. In this session, you’ll learn to take better control not through hacks and filters, but through an understanding of why browsers work the way they do.
  • Social Software as a Platform for Human Advancement
    As we enthusiastically embrace the many technologies that come together to create Web applications, it’s important to also stay aware of the societal impact our software offers. In particular, social applications offer a foundation for improvements in all kinds of relationships. Spanning from business-oriented apps that enhance networking and economic opportunities to the more personal social applications that allow for myriad interaction, the social application deserves our attention not just as technologists, but as individuals and communities, too.

I’ve been honored to bring what I know about markup and CSS to the Rich Web, in particular the applications experience. I’m not a programmer, but I love working with programmers to find solutions to major issues in the delivery of a great web site experience.

Who’s going to The Rich Web Experience (RWE)? Anyone want to go?

I’m hoping to see you there.

    Gawd, I’d love to go to the RWE … but it’s a smidgen out of my price range.

  3. Molly says:

    I know, it is an expensive show. But I do have to say they take really good care of attendees as well as speakers – all meals, great schwag, and very fine content / networking.

  4. Olly says:

    And there was me thinking you’d retired from this sort of thing :)

  5. Molly says:

    Olly: From Web design conferences where standards are the theme. Not from conferences where I get to branch out and learn some things myself! The entire point of this exercise is to only go to those conferences where there’s value for me above the social. Because as you know, I can do the social on my own just fine ;)

    There are still one or two web-specific conferences that I’d committed to before the end of the year. But other than that, you’ll see me at MIX events and events of this nature, that go beyond the standards/design content. Hope that clarifies!

  6. very very expensive show

  7. how much it all this cost you?

  8. RWE Attendee says:

    I am at RWE 2007 in San Jose right now (it’s just ending), and I think I speak for everyone at the conference in saying that you were missed a lot. Without you speaking here, there was a major element missing in all of the talks about the Rich Web.

    I had heard so many good things about your enlightening sessions that I had planned on going to all of them. I hope you get better soon so that you can continue to share your vast knowledge of CSS and design with others!

  9. RWE Attendee says:

    As a followup, Jay gave away a 24 inch IMac to the most popular speaker at RWE (attendees voted). Stuart Halloway won it by one vote. I think you would have walked away with it had you been here ;-)

  14. Faberlica says:

    I with it agree. It is necessary to declare a competitive set of editors.

    Yes, not many people know about Javascript anyway.

    thanks for letting us know.

  20. lirik lagu says:

    Hello everybody.I enjoy read all this post.Thank you.

  21. AlexeyGfi says:

    Hello, molly. I have a remark: the text and the meaning of articles – that is not all that affects the quality of internet-site. For example, the first thing I noticed immediately – images are not very good quality.

  22. AlexeyGfi says:

    For instance, I use the GD-php-functions to change the size of the image on-line. For example: http://www.shinomania.ru/tyre/catalogue/ – are large images are loaded, but all through my php function vary in size (by the way, this is done once, so as not to overwrite photos and not to create additional pressure on the server HDD).

  23. AlexeyGfi says:

    Here’s another example: http://www.shinomania.ru/tyre/catalogue/detail.php?ID=19672
    The function has been successful at several sites. For example, here: http://vse1.com.ua/news/ (photos from the articles).
    If interested, I can give php-code.
    Sincerely, Alexei Burlaka.

  24. thank you antalya otelleri
