Making the Web Fireproof: A Building Code for WebsitesDylan Wilbanks
The moment we start creating a website, we’re setting ourselves up for failure later. Bad code creates middle of the night fire drills. Lack of thinking about accessibility gets our employer sued. Not thinking ahead on mobile generates rework. We accept this as the normal course of business – but is there any way we could prevent (or lower) this cost? Is there anything we can learn from the building codes that dictate how our built environment is constructed?
We will talk about the lessons of building codes and what we can do today to build more robust web applications and sites, including:
- The need for design patterns in websites
- The need for patterns in user stories so that we build websites consistently
- Baking accessibility into websites comes from putting accessibility into user stories
- Planning a web application is different from planning a building, but it does share similar aspects of work
- The better we can becoming at creating best practices (building codes) the better we will get at building sites, and the closer we will come to Berners-Lee’s “one web for all” dream

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer.

I’m Dylan Wilbanks. I write for Metblogs and have since 2005. I also maintain my own blog and have since 2000. I’m not exactly sure how to address this topic. It seems a little large. So I’m going to give a brief synopsis of MB, comment a bit on the kind of community we seem to foster, and then throw out some discussion topics to ruminate over so you can wow me with your big brains in question time. I could give a lot of examples here from the blog, but I’m going to skip them. If anyone wants to see them in question time, just ask.
