Event Details

Standards we've been reading about for years—HTML5, CSS3, WAI-ARIA—are finally making their way into all of the major browsers. At the same time, more and more people are accessing the Web using mobile and tablet devices.

This month at London Web Standards, Richard Rutter (@clagnut) and Andy Hume  (@andyhume) will discuss using emerging standards to create websites that are beautiful and engaging across a range of devices.

A Progressive Web, Andy Hume
The idea of progressive enhancement isn't new, but the way we approach it needs to evolve. New devices such as those powered by iOS and Android are upon us, just as a throng of emerging technologies like HTML5 and CSS 3 are ready for action. With every day that goes by people are experiencing the web in new, different, undreamed of, impossible ways.  Exciting as this sounds on paper, how do we build websites within that impossibly complex and constantly shifting landscape?
 
The Future of Typography, Richard Rutter

At no other time has typography been taken so seriously by so many involved in the web, and that means there's an awful lot of change and innovation to keep up with if you want to stay on the cutting edge of online type. This presentation will cover recent proposals and additions to CSS 3, from ligatures to hyphenation, synthesis to capitalisation, and much in between. It will cover the reasoning behind the new aspects of CSS 3, and reintroduce older properties which only now are becoming implemented and useful. The future of web typography is looking bright.

London Web Standards



London Web Standards brings together web professionals who are working for a better web. Our monthly meetups provide them with an opportunity to teach, inspire, learn, network and debate.

Each meetup features a speaker drawn from our membership or the wider standards community. The talks cover a range of topics including HTML5, JavaScript, YQL, accessibility, web fonts, UX and front-end performance.

Come along, drink some beer (or your beverage of choice) and exchange ideas with other web developers, designers and professionals who are as passionate about the web as you are.
