Inside the CSS WG: A New Reality Series

Posted on 2 February, 2012 by mollydotcom

I’m pleased to announce my new series of interviews published by the wonderful Bath, U.K. based .net Magazine, called “Inside the CSS Working Group.”

“Step with me behind the curtain into the W3C CSS Working Group. Historically filled with challenges, the group has grown into one of the most productive, powerhouse working groups in the W3C’s history. What happened to bring about this change? To provide insight, and encourage web folks to participate more in Working Groups in general, let’s turn up the house lights on some very diverse people: CSS WG individuals, who will over this series reveal their independent, as well as global, vision for CSS, and for the web.”

Opera 11.60 is Out

Posted on 8 December, 2011 by mollydotcom

Opera 11.60 is out now, and so is Bruce Lawson as in “out of his mind.”

Here’s Bruce from Opera’s developer relations team singing about the release in a holiday spirit.

Pretty cool with the HTML parser there, Opera. Nice work my friends.

Project Meteor Campaign

Posted on 3 December, 2011 by mollydotcom

Designers have long needed a GUI environment that synchs up with their skill sets in balance with the requirements of good Web design practices. Many individual software developers as well as large companies have worked hard to create such a sophisticated tool. And while many have been helpful along the way, we still appear to lack the ultimate designer software for streamlined, contemporary, standards-based Web design.

Enter project meteor

Project meteor is a campaign that is asking designers and software developers to vote and participate in the ongoing encouragement of high-quality graphical development environments built expressly with Web designers in mind.

What do you think?

Here are a few questions to foster discussion on this long-debated, long-unsolved topic:

Are existing software products providing you a streamlined way, as a designer, to do your job efficiently and in-step with contemporary best practices?
If yes to question 1, which products do you use and why do you feel they fit into your workflow?
Are you frustrated by the limitations of existing products?
If yes to question 3, what are the limitations and issues you encounter with existing Web design software offerings?

Take action!

If you are a software developer and/or Web designer and want to be involved with Project Meteor – check out their mission statement, goals and current calls for action on their campaign Web site.
