EBIG Web Development SIG - CSS In Practice: What You Need to Know December 4, 2006

CSS W3C Web Standards are now an integral part of building websites that are highly flexible, easily manageable, and standards-based. This event will be a fast paced instructional for Designers and Developers who are ready to switch to CSS and XHTML.

We'll begin with several examples of creating accessible and standards-based UI elements using CSS and XHTML. From there we'll discuss how to design and code for accessibility and section 508 compliance, as well as how agile development methods are relevant in CSS/XHTML. The talk will wrap up with a discussion on how to access objects using the DOM and unobtrusive script to invoke events.

Bring your laptops and your seatbelts.
