The 2019 season for An Event Apart (the premiere web and interaction design conference) is about to kick off!
I’ll be there in Seattle for the kickoff, giving a talk about how to think like a front-end developer. I’ve been working on it for ages, and I think I have a talk ready that helps set the stage for where we are at in the world of front-end development, through the lens of tons of other front-end developers I admire in this industry. I hope it’ll be an entertaining romp through all their minds and how they think.
Just check out this Seattle lineup!
This is like my dream lineup. Except that jerk who kicks off Day 2.
