🔗Andy Bell: Front-end is so much more than building designs

”Only by starting those fires have I developed into a more experienced designer and developer who knows the danger signs and importantly, learned the value of working slowly and methodically.”

Registered for The Jam 2023, presented by cfe.dev. Not sure how much I can attend in real-time, but there are a number of promising sessions about web components in this year’s schedule.

I hope the IndieWeb continues to gain momentum in 2023. I’m going to try and attend more virtual events like this.

Matthias Ott: Shitty Code Prototypes

Prototyping with code is my favorite way to build prototypes whenever I want to work with the real material of the Web and sketch out an idea in the browser with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Maybe it’s a layout that uses CSS Grid, a GSAP animation test, or a little interactive component. Whatever it is, I try to focus on the essence of what I want to try out and learn. What I don’t focus on, however, is code quality. And this is where it can get complicated.

Registered for PWA Summit, happening in October this year.

A free, online, single-track conference focused on helping everyone succeed with Progressive Web Apps.

Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are something I have been meaning to explore more for years, since I first heard about them. In the meantime, talks from last year are still available online.

Word Wrap Podcast: Does valid and semantic HTML still matter?🎙

Great discussion with Ben Myers.

Our mission is to make the most usable user experience. And so the way to do that, the secret sauce, is to give the device as much information as possible, to be as expressive as possible about our intent, so that the device has all the information it needs to be able to create the most usable user experience. And that is what semantics is for…

…I believe personally, that expressiveness beats out any other mantra about code cleanliness or anything like that. And writing expressive code has never led me astray.
