The Importance of Planning - Many websites lack the synergy between creative and SEO which declines their performance. How can you afford to ignore how search engines interact with your site? If your site breaks for them, it breaks for all potential visitors from Firefox, Internet Explorer & Co. Learn how to create search engine friendly sites that are equally appealing to your visitors: from concept to wireframes to site launches and migrations.

Is your site ready for the mobile web? Are you sure? Go ahead, check it on your phone, and your kid's phone, and a tablet, and some Android dealies, and a Bleakberry. And a TV or two. I'll wait.
That was an eye-opener, right?
Web design and front end development has never been more complex than it is now, and it's likely to get worse before it gets better. Should you design your site "Mobile First"? How about "Adaptive" or "Responsive"? What's the difference between those again? I want to talk about why you might want to choose these approaches to your project.
CSS is also not really up to the task of managing all this complexity. Sure, it *can* do it, but pure CSS strains almost to the breaking point under the pressure. So let's welcome Sass to the party. Sass is a CSS preprocessor that gives CSS authors the tools we've been aching for in creating and managing large and complex CSS projects. We'll cover a few of the Sass basics, but the real value here is in the more sophisticated tools that let you manage all the moving parts necessary in creating all this new-fangled wizardry.
We'll cover:
- Mobile First
- Adaptive Design
- Responsive Design
- Stand-alone mobile options
- Sass
- Mobile-focused tools
- Compass
- Survival Kit
- Susy
It’s not hard to see that your laptop computer isn’t the only piece of hardware that has a web browser. The web is on your phone, your tablet, your laptop and even your television. Web pages that take the multi-platform world into account are using Responsive Web Design (RWD). As we saw in a previous webinar, this is a set of techniques and ideas that look to adapt layouts based on the environment of the user’s browser. In this webinar Thom Robbins, Kentico CMS Chief Evangelist drilled into the tools and technologies for building a responsive site.
My slides from the BlueGlass LA presentation on WordPress. Geared towards marketers and users (not developers) it gives a good look into strong site management.

Rethinking accessibility related best practices for CSS in the modern ageshwetank
In the age of new trends in web design and CSS technologies like Flexbox and Grids, what do we need to think about when it comes to accessibility and CSS?
While Responsive Design is the buzzword amongst companies trying to move to a mobile world, it's not quite as easy to actually implement. In a presentation I did with Michelle Dash and Bill Welense, we talk about the steps that got us to responsive design, deconstructing it, approaching it from a design perspective, the benefits and pitfalls, and looking into the future.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
