My closing talk for this year's Fronteers conference in Amsterdam, the Netherlands about just how cool it is to be someone who builds things for the web.
Going deeper engaging your members and allies with social softwareChristopher Wyble
A presentation I gave at the 2010 Out & Equal Workplace Summit in Los Angeles, CA, on using social software within the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight ally community.
A presentation that I did along with a professor from the University of South Carolina Upstate (http://uscupstate.edu): Dr. Tina Herzberg.

Niche or Platform - what next for our institutions online?Mike Ellis
This presentation looks at the ideas behind institutions delivering a "trusted platform" rather than niche silos. It suggests that "platforms" in this context are places where communities are enabled, supported and encouraged and goes on to consider ten big ideas which often accompany platform-like approaches.
If you love your content, set it free (v3.0) Mike Ellis
This talk is a re-working of previous talks with the same name. This time it focuses on three big ideas which hang off notions of “free” and "open":
- what value and free mean in the networked world we’ve found ourselves in
- how this network has also changed us, as consumers and producers of content
- how we, as content-rich institutions, might respond to these changes
In 2010, a photo-sharing startup launched—on a single, closed platform. Over the next two years, it gained over 100 million active users, before being acquired by Facebook for one. billion. dollars.
Only half a year after *that* did they finally release a web app.
Instagram's main purpose was sharing photos and commenting on them. If this isn't a perfect fit for the open web platform, I don't know what is. And yet the app was planted neatly within Apple's walled garden, without even an API to speak of. How did things go so wrong?
The web needs to catch up, and fast. If we want to preserve all the virtues of the web—shareable URLs, indexable content, open standards, instantly deployed updates, and so on—then we need to make the web platform more attractive, both to developers and users. We need to explore the final frontier of web development: *true* web apps, of the kind that will delight our users (and our investors). But we're not quite there … yet.
In this talk, I want to explore the efforts underway to bring the web platform up to speed as a genuine competitor. We have the most momentum of any platform in history, but there are still many unanswered questions. What are the major functionality gaps, and how are we closing them? Can we make app development as easy for web as it is for native? How do we fix mobile performance? Can you even use a web app while you're offline? I want to tell you about that not-too-distant future where these problems have been solved. Editors are speccing up new APIs; implementers are leveling up their browsers; and the community is building new frameworks. Together, we're slowly but surely pushing into that final frontier. And once we're past it, the mobile web will be a natural choice for the next big content-sharing app, enabling us to share by simply sending a URL—from any browser, to any device, on any platform.
Let’s talk about what Microsoft has given us for building ambitious, real-world Windows 8 apps in HTML5 and JavaScript—but also what’s missing, and how we can fill in the gaps.
A presentation I developed for a group of college media editors who wanted to know more about how to use new media technology to run their newsrooms and get better jobs.
A short talk on web performance given at Refresh Pittsburgh. Discusses how web performance fixes can be worked into a normal development workflow. Focuses on tweaks for responsive design sites.

Dans cette présentation, Chris Heilmann nous parlera des problèmes liés à l'adoption de standards du web récents, et décrira des façons de contourner ces difficultés. Un exemple simple est le manque de prise en charge native de l'audio et de la vidéo, et les problèmes des implémentations actuelles.
La session illustrera concrètement comment régler des problèmes a priori sans solution en les attaquant sous un autre angle. Il s'agit essentiellement de trouver une façon pragmatique de vendre, implémenter et utiliser les standards plutôt que d'attendre que le marché adopte des technologies dont l'utilisation devrait être d'une évidence complète.

HTML5 is here and we should use it right now. It is fun and interesting to look at cool CSS3, Canvas and Video demos but our main goal should be to make our day-to-day life easier by using the cool things browsers offer us right now. Learn about local storage, simplifying interfaces and using HTML5 right now!
2014 conference keynote addressing the agenda of the conference. Highlighting the changes and improvements in tech, and predictions for the next coming year.
The near future of real web applicationsX.commerce
There is a lot of noise being made about HTML5 as the new web technology to use and markets for apps as the best way to sell products and distribute applications to our end users. In reality there is not much new about it - all we are doing is treating the web as a distribution and sharing platform and browsers as the software to run our applications on. In this talk Christian Heilmann of Mozilla shows how in the near future application installation and in-app payments can happen on the most distributed market there is - the internet and through your browser. You will see how the technologies we build web sites in got an upgrade to allow us to build light-weight and focused applications that allow our end users to reach their goals faster and in a more re-usable fashion than with traditional ecommerce. Browsers and hardware are becoming more powerful each day, it is time to use that power in a sensible manner.

We are obsessed with coding and creating automated workflows and optimisations. And yet our final products aren't making it easy for people to use them. Somewhere, we lost empathy for our end users and other developers. Maybe it is time to change that. Here are some ideas.
PWA are a hot topic and it is important to understand that they are a different approach to apps than the traditional way of packaging something and letting the user install it. In this keynote you'll see some of the differences.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
