Session descrip­tion

Web tech­nolo­gies are evolv­ing at such a fre­netic pace that it becomes almost manda­tory to learn on your own. A lot of us still depend on other peo­ple to do this learn­ing for us, and we tend to use their answers to solve our every­day prob­lems. Inconsistent imple­men­ta­tions, rapidly evolv­ing specs, ques­tion­able per­for­mance impacts and main­te­nance impli­ca­tions mean we can­not always depend on oth­ers for answers but must involve our­selves actively in the process of devel­op­ing spec­i­fi­ca­tions for new Web tech­nolo­gies. But how do we go about it? There are some sim­ple rit­u­als we can all do, which can have us be better-​​informed and also bet­ter inform the peo­ple and groups who are most directly involved in the devel­op­ment of new Web technologies.
