CSS Day

@CSSDayConf 2016

Event
June 16, 2016

Continental Europe and web development conferences? Well, Amsterdam is the place to be, think no further than CSS Day.

Day 1

In 2016—for the first time—the actual CSS Day on June 17 was preceded by an HTML Special, with the following amazing speakers.

Talks & Speakers

In case you’ve noticed that all talk titles are HTML elements, it didn’t stop there. Not even the coffee <br>eaks were safe. 😉

Day 2

Unlike the HTML Special the day before, the focus on the actual CSS Day was on—wait for it—CSS. And the speakers did not disappoint #MindBlown.

In reply to: @CSSence, @yoavweiss.

you cannot hold a script responsible for putting orange text on a gray background.

sorry about that 😕

Listening to @yoavweiss at #CSSDay I wonder if using loadJS & loadCSS on cssence.com has a negative perf impact

Yoav Weiss wrote on June 16, 2016 at 09:18

In reply to: @CSSence.

They have some negative impact, but they can be reimplemented using preload. @scottjehl already has prototypes implementing it

Awesome, thanks. I will look into this. But now back to @ppk #CSSDay

Gorgeous venue #CSSDay @Compagnietheate

The event takes place at Compagnietheater. Through a top-floor window, you look directly at beautiful houses and one of Amsterdam’s many canals.

Wow, @zcorpan’s #CSSDay talk was a great reminder how complicated the stuff behind the browser scenes really is

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 16, 2016 at 13:03

Question for @notwaldorf: how will <…-input> fall back in older browsers and <noscript>?

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 16, 2016 at 13:13

@notwaldorf +1 on @adactio’s question #CSSDay twitter.com/adactio/status/743428866845315072

Turned out to be 116 amazing slides #CSSDay

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 17, 2016 at 07:50

@CSSDayConf @csswizardry With these principles, is there a risk of offloading complexity from CSS to other places like JS or HTML?

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 17, 2016 at 07:59

I’ve had my share of conferences, but so far missed out on having an a11y expert on stage @LeonieWatson #finally #CSSDay

Michiel Bijl wrote on June 17, 2016 at 08:01

Coooool! *mustCancelFlight*

Best bug ever. #a11y Firefox flex-box tab order #CSSDay

Léonie Watson explaining that Firefox treats the CSS order property not in the same way as other browsers.

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 17, 2016 at 09:10

In case you meet your #web hero, say “Hi!” #CSSDay

Yours truly together with web legend Jeremy Keith. While I’ve seen him at other conferences before, this time I actually talked to him.

Continued from previous comment.

And thanks @csswizardry for taking the picture 😄

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 17, 2016 at 13:18

@cssdayconf @svgeesus why not use: .foo { color: #f60; color: lab(…) } for fallback? #CSSDay

Chris Lilley wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:21

In reply to: @CSSence.

@CSSDayConf we went back and forth on how to do fallback. In SVG 1 the fallback was first; people find it confusing

Chris Lilley wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:23

Continued from previous comment.

We wanted to have fallback color specifiable in the same rule, but you could do that.

Matthias Beitl wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:34

In reply to: @svgeesus.

Thx! And both ways would behave identically in case the color profile has not been loaded yet?

Chris Lilley wrote on June 17, 2016 at 14:40

In reply to: @CSSence.

if it has not loaded you would get the fallback color.
