An Event Apart @ Alamo Drafthouse

Am I dreaming? An Event Apart is coming to Austin, November 6th and the venue is the Alamo Drafthouse. Wanna spend a day with Jeffrey Zeldman, Eric Meyer and Jason Santa Maria? Think it can’t get any better than that? Well…how ’bout the marvelous Molly Holzschlag!

I can’t wait! A delicious web conference deep in the heart of Texas at the Alamo Drafthouse. “The seats are comfy, the sightlines clear, the screen sizeable, and the food wonderful. All this and free wifi, too!”

So, what makes An Event Apart so very special? It isn’t your usual conference….ooooo nooooo…this is “a concentrated, creative learning session that will change the way you approach web design. You will learn how to:”

  • Design, write, and structure your site to communicate clearly and effectively.
  • Let user needs and business goals guide redesigns, and get buy-in from bosses and clients.
  • Translate even the most sophisticated and complex visual designs to CSS layouts that work.
  • Push CSS design to the limit with unique ideas and concepts.

You’ll also gain insight into how experienced standards-based designers and developers approach and solve common problems as Eric and Jeffrey delve into recent projects, showing how they approach design and coding in their own client work.

This is not an introductory class. Not a rehashing of basics. Not for beginners. Not to be missed.

Race ya to the registration page! $50 discount if your register by October 6th. Ready! Set! Go!

  1. Glenda, you sound positively excited.

    Hehe, got the boss to pay for it. Now if I could just persuade University Pubs that the university “webmaster” needs to attend. (Would seem obvious, no?) I may be able to get one of our student workers there, if the funding gets approved. To get just one budding web developer to this would be a victory for the good guys in my eyes. Show them the path before they get off track into the Wilderness of Invalid Code and Wastelands of Quirks Mode Rendering.
