It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan. — Eleanor Roosevelt
Here’s an important detail here: It’s free!
Jamstack Conf Virtual is coming up October 6th and 7th, 2020. The sessions are on October 6th. That’s the free part (register here). Then on October 7th there are a variety of workshops (they all look great to me) that are $100 USD each. That’s the classic conference one-two punch. Sessions are for getting a broad sense of what’s happening and will very likely open … Read article “Jamstack Conf”
Web Unleashed is a fun conference. I’ve been a number of times. I’m sure you won’t be surprised that it’s online this year, like most events.
And, hey, it’s coming up and will take place over three days, October 5-7, 2020. I’d really like to see you there, not just because you’re going to get a lot of it (which you will), but because I’ll be there emceeing the show on October 5th, right after Jason Pamental does the … Read article “Come to Web Unleashed!”
An Event Apart: Online Together is a single-day online conference with an intense focus on digital design, UX, content, code, and more, giving you deep insights into where we are now and where things are going next.
AEA! With a brand new online version of their conference! That’s awesome. AEA is a best-in-class web conference, so if you’re looking for a conference to help get your mind going on big-picture web design and development stuff again and connect with some … Read article “Online Together”
There are some great resources out there to help conference speakers give better talks, but fewer for people who are preparing to take on the role of emcee at meetup or conference.
I’ve been fortunate enough to emcee conferences more than 20 times now, most recently JAMstack_conf which I help organize. I also enjoy hosting smaller, less formal meetups which benefit just as much from having somebody to keep things rolling nicely along.
Since emcee-ing is a rather visible … Read article “Emcee Tips for a Conference or Meetup”
I’m so excited to be heading to Zürich, Switzerland for Front Conference (Love that name and URL!). I’ve never been to Switzerland before, so I’m excited about that, but of course, the web nerd in me is excited to be at the conference with lots of fellow webfolk. Some old friends, but mostly new people I’ve never met before but admire their work. Yessssss.… Read article “Front Conference in Zürich”
I recently had the pleasure of joining Dave Rupert, Chris Coyier, and Chris Ferdinandi on the Shop Talk Show to talk about the upcoming ARTIFACT Conference (Austin, TX on Sept. 30 – Oct. 1, 2019). ARTIFACT is an intimate gathering of web designers and developers where we discuss ways to build web sites that work for everyone.
This isn’t our first rodeo! I started ARTIFACT back in 2013 with Christopher Schmitt and Ari Stiles (the team behind the legendary In … Read article “What the Web Needs Now (and how ARTIFACT is here for it)”
Did you know we have a site that lists all upcoming conferences related to front-end web design and development? We do! If you’re looking to go to one, check it out. If you’re running one, feel free to submit yours.
Now that we’re running this, I’ve got loads of Pull Requests for conferences all around the world. I didn’t realize that many (most?) conferences use the template at confcodeofconduct.com. In fact, many of them just link to … Read article “PSA: Linking to a Code of Conduct Template is Not the Same as Having a Code of Conduct”
My partner and I ran a design and development conference company for eight years. During that time, we produced hundreds of hours of conferences, both on-site and online. Diversity scholarships were only becoming a typical conference offering around the time we decided to sunset our business. So, when we committed to collaborate on an updated ARTIFACT conference, I knew right away I wanted to make Diversity Scholarships available.… Read article “Creating a Diversity Scholarship Program for Your Conference”
I built a new little site! It’s a site for listing upcoming conferences in the world of front-end web design and development. In years past (like 2017), Sarah Drasner took up this daunting job. We used a form for new conference submissions, but it was still a rather manual task of basically manually editing a blog post. I wanted to keep doing this, as I think it’s valuable to have a simple reference page for conferences in our niche … Read article “A Site for Front-End Development Conferences (Built with 11ty on Netlify)”
This is a video from my talk at WordCamp US.
Let’s take a peek at what front-end development has become these days. Starting from what the role is, where we sit, and the expectations of us. Then we’ll get into the problems we face, how to approach them, and the tools we have at our disposal. We’ll look at how Gutenberg might fit into our lives as front-end developers.
It’s my first time giving this talk, and I will be … Read article “#169: How to Think Like a Front-End Developer”
