eCSStender enables designers and developers to craft their own vision for CSS. It allows them to define new CSS properties and values using vendor prefixes. This gives them a way to experiment with new CSS ideas and potentially influence the evolution of CSS standards. The article describes how Aaron Gustafson used eCSStender to implement a proof-of-concept "physics" property that assigns elements different densities to demonstrate how new CSS concepts can be tested. Gustafson argues that eCSStender empowers the web community to get more involved in the ongoing development of CSS.

The Features of Highly Effective Forms [An Event Apart Nashville 2016]Aaron Gustafson
Web forms are complex beasts with many moving parts. That’s one of the reasons they're so challenging to build well. In this session, Aaron Gustafson will walk you through the process of creating a form—from planning to production—and give you sage advice for improvement. You’ll learn ways to keep forms focused, how to leverage HTML5 for better user interaction, and a variety of design techniques to enhance forms’ usability. Whether you have one form or a thousand, you’ll leave this session with a much better handle on how to take them from distressing to delightful!
Users are gradually becoming more accustomed to and reliant on voice-based interactions, so enabling users to complete critical tasks without a visual user interface is crucial for the long-term success of websites. This session shows how designing such a “headless” user interface is equivalent to designing the conversation you want to have with your users. Learn how to ensure that the technological decisions you make with respect to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript respect and support that conversation.

One of the major concerns in today's world is the pollution and contamination of soil. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has caused tremendous harm to the environment. An answer to this is the biofertilizer, an environmentally friendly fertilizer now used in most countries. Biofertilizers are organisms that enrich the nutrient quality of soil. The main sources of biofertilizers are bacteria, fungi, and cynobacteria (blue-green algae).

The New UI - Staying Strong with Flexbox, SASS, and {{Mustache.js}}Eric Carlisle
This presentation is a hands-on workshop exploring a medley of client-side web technologies. Flexbox is a CSS layout model that may simplify what usually are very complex layouts. SASS is a CSS wrapper extension / preprocessor allowing CSS to me more maintainable and approachable. Mustache.js is an logicless HTML tool using JavaScript.
Say goodbye to the browser-specific properties and hacks cluttering your files and say hello to lean, mean CSS.
With eCSStender, when you write the rules, browsers pay attention.
In this session, Gustafson covers everything you would need to know to get up and running with eCSStender by:
* demonstrating why we need a tool like eCSStender
explaining how eCSStender works
* showing how painlessly extensions can be implemented; and
* demonstrating how to build an extension using a little jQuery.
SCSS is a an extension of CSS that adds power and elegance to the basic language.
It helps keep large stylesheets well organized and get small stylesheets up and running quickly.
This recipe provides a structured approach for using SCSS Pre-processor for your web applications.

Delivering Critical Information and Services [JavaScript & Friends 2021]Aaron Gustafson
Early on, Internet access was considered a luxury. Those times have passed and the Internet, especially the Web, has become a necessity. Whether your users are trying to access their money, gather health information, attend class, apply for assistance, or any of the other hundreds (if not thousands) of critical tasks people do on the web, your site needs to be prepared to meet their needs. And it needs to work, no matter what.
In this session, I discuss the many challenges to delivering critical information and services as well as the steps you can take to overcome those challenges. He’ll explore ways to make sure you can meet users on a variety of devices—and not the just the latest and greatest high end ones folks are talking about; how to make it accessible to people with disabilities; and how to load—and load quickly—on limited- bandwidth connections.

Designing the Conversation [Beyond Tellerrand 2019]Aaron Gustafson
Over time, your users will become more accustomed to and reliant on voice-based interactions with their computers and, thereby, the web. Enabling them to complete critical tasks without a visual user interface will be crucial for the long-term success of your website. In this session, Aaron Gustafson will discuss how smart markup choices can improve the overall usability and accessibility of your projects without disrupting your current workflow.
For the last three years, our industry has been coming to terms with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and what they mean for the work we do every day. Scores of articles, reams of documentation, and dozens of white papers touting the successes and failures in this space can really get your head spinning. It’s easy to get lost in the complexities of service workers, manifests, and oh so many JavaScript frameworks and toolkits. Aaron believes it’s time to take a step back and refocus our attention on what really matters: building great web experiences. In this session, you’ll learn how to apply modern web design and development best practices to your web projects. You’ll learn how to grow a project from a core, universally-accessible experience to a sophisticated Progressive Web App that ensures users will be able to access your product, no matter what.
Our industry is abuzz with talk about Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and with good reason: they are a great way to improve the experiences our users have on our sites, especially when it comes to performance. Using Service Workers—a key component of PWAs—we can manage network requests and the cache to an incredibly granular degree. We can also totally abuse the privilege Service Workers grant us when it comes to writing files to disk.
In this session, Aaron Gustafson will discuss some of the potential pitfalls in implementing Service Workers, especially when it comes to managing heavy files like images and video. He’ll provide guidance on current best practices in cache management. And he’ll offer a few simple recipes you can put to use right away to deliver amazing experiences for your users that respect their data usage and disk space.
Adapting to Reality [Starbucks Lunch & Learn]Aaron Gustafson
After enjoying more than a decade of relative stability in designing for the 'desktop' web, smartphones had to come along and throw a wrench in the works. It seemed that in an instant, everything changed and nothing was certain any more. The truth is, though, nothing was ever certain.
One of the web’s major strengths is its ability to adapt, to travel anywhere and everywhere in service of its users. All those years we were the ones restraining it with our desire to create a single monolithic experience. But experience is not monolithic. Every person is different, and we all bring our unique perspectives, experiences, and capabilities to the table. A one-size-fits-all approach rarely fits anyone well. When we embrace that, our designs, products, and experiences will be all the better for it.
Conversational Semantics for the Web [CascadiaJS 2018]Aaron Gustafson
Over time, your users will become more accustomed to and reliant on voice-based interactions with their computers and, thereby, the web. Enabling them to complete critical tasks without a visual user interface will be crucial for the long-term success of your website. In this session, Aaron Gustafson will discuss how smart markup choices can improve the overall usability and accessibility of your projects without disrupting your current workflow.
Design is problem solving. Each and every day, we are tasked with finding ways to reduce the friction our users experience on the Web. That means streamlining flows, reducing cognitive load, writing more appropriate copy, and (of course) building accessible experience. But experience is about more than just interface. Our users’ experiences begin with their first request to our servers. In this intensely practical session, Aaron will explore the ins and outs of page load performance by showing how he made the web site of the 10K Apart meet its own contest rules, by having a site that was functional and attractive even without JavaScript, and was less than ten kilobytes at initial load. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the page load process as well as numerous ways you can improve the projects you are working on right now.
PWA: Where Do I Begin? [Microsoft Ignite 2018]Aaron Gustafson
In this session, you'll learn how to apply modern best practices to grow your Progressive Web Apps fluidly from mobile devices all the way to large screen desktop environments. You’ll even learn how to lay the groundwork for reaching users of future form factors and “headless” UIs. We'll focus on design patterns that set you up for success on every device and across platforms and guarantee your users will be able to access your product, no matter what. Additional topics will include a primer on how your PWA can integrate more tightly with Windows 10—including how to distribute your PWA via the Store—and how to incorporate accessibility from the very beginning.

Over time, your users will become more accustomed to and reliant on voice-based interactions with their computers and, thereby, the web. Enabling them to complete critical tasks without a visual user interface will be crucial for the long-term success of your website.
Design is problem solving. Each and every day, we are tasked with finding ways to reduce the friction our users experience on the Web. That means streamlining flows, reducing cognitive load, and writing more appropriate copy, but user experience goes far beyond the interface. Our users’ experiences begin with their first request to our servers. In this intensely practical session, Aaron will explore the ins and outs of page load performance by showing how he made the web site of the 10K Apart meet its own contest rules, by having a site that was functional and attractive even without JavaScript, and was less than ten kilobytes at initial load. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of the page load process as well as numerous ways you can improve the projects you are working on right now.
We, as an industry, tend to have a pretty myopic view of experience. Those of us who work day-to-day in accessibility probably have a broader perspective than most, but I would argue that even we all fall short now and again when it comes to seeing the Web as others do.

So how do you design a "headless" UI? That's easy: You design the conversation.
Conversation is at the root of every interaction we have, be it with another human being, a game, or with a website. This session will discuss how to design and implement a web application that will allow you to create a web page that will allow you to create HTML documents.
After enjoying more than a decade of relative stability in designing for the 'desktop' web, smartphones had to come along and throw a wrench in the works. It seemed that in an instant, everything changed and nothing was certain any more. The truth is, though, nothing was ever certain.

When we embrace that, our designs, products, and experiences will be all the better for it.
In this talk, Aaron will discuss and dissect several adaptive interfaces and demonstrate how they smartly morph to meet their users’ needs — slow connections, older browsers, narrow screens, and even no screens at all. He’ll also introduce you to a battle-tested tool for planning, discussing, building and testing adaptive interfaces.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
