As you can imagine for folks in the business of producing conferences the last few weeks have resulted in a great deal of thinking…. and rethinking of our plans for our upcoming events, particularly Code and Code Leaders in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the meme goes–”life comes at you fast”.  Just 7 days ago we wrote to […]

Web Directions has always had a strong focus on design; and yet it was only with the launch of our product design conference, Design last year, that we had a dedicated, stand alone event for all things digital product and service design. The response to last year’s Design  was overwhelmingly positive,  we’ve worked even harder on […]

If you’ve been in the industry any length of time, you’ll know how essential it is to keep your knowledge up to date, and how much work that can be. One of our key goals with our events is to help attendees do just that, and as always this year’s Summit features keynotes, design and […]

From the very beginning, our events have had a strong focus on development. With our background in developing (both for the Web and of tools for other web developers) it’s something we’ve always thought a lot about, and continue to focus on. As the event matured, and as the roles of development and design separated […]

We’re in full swing gearing up for our annual Summit, our big two track conference, taking place November 1 and 2 in Sydney. This year we’re excited to be returning to our home for many years, the Convention Centre in Darling Harbour, Sydney. Bringing as good a lineup as we’ve ever had. The full program […]

Answer after answer on StackOverflow to questions about basic DOM APIs and common patterns would lead to the response “Well, in jQuery, you …”. And, of course, the questions end up being closed off at some point by moderators.

The thing is, a few years ago, jQuery was such a ubiquitous part of a developer’s toolkit that this seemed a perfectly reasonable approach. Who didn’t use jQuery?

That was quite a day! I reckon very few of the 140 or so of us at this first Code Leaders conference in Melbourne had a clear idea of how the day would pan out. It’s probably fair to say that no-one except John Allsopp, the event’s creator and the heart and soul of Web […]

Here, at last, is the full program for Web Directions Code 17, taking place in  Melbourne on 3-4 August. Let me tell you, a fair bit of thinking went into this. Getting the participation of some of the world’s (and Australia’s) leading thinkers and doers in front end engineering is one thing – turning that into a two day event with […]

Here it is. The speaker line-up you’ve been waiting for. We’ve literally just confirmed our final speakers, so it’ll take another couple of days before the Code website has all the details, but here’s who’s speaking. Web Directions Code 17 Chris Lilley: The first chair of the CSS Working Group and co-editor of the CSS […]

Following on from our Video of the Week on Friday, a couple of people have asked whether we published a Wrap magazine summary of Andy Clarke‘s keynote presentation at Direction 16. We sure did! In fact, we plan to continue publishing summaries of all of our future conference presentations in the digital-only Wrap magazine. They […]

With the full program for Respond 17 now out, this week’s Video Ristretto reprises the talk given by Wayne Thompson at our Direction conference in November last year, as he is again on the schedule for Respond. Once you see this talk, you’ll quickly see why we wanted to get Wayne back, this time in […]

As we head toward Direction, we’ll be focusing on some of the sessions we’re looking forward to and providing some context for why we chose these particular sessions. First up, one of our core points of focus since the very beginning – where is the design of the Web headed? At various times in the […]

At our Code 2016 conference a couple of months ago, Progressive Web Apps received quite a bit of attention. Marcos Caceres talked about how they are enabled by Service Workers, Elise Chant showed us how to use Manifests to install them, and several presenters referred to PWA in their presentations. You might remember that PWAs […]

Jen Simmons hosts the very popular The Web Ahead podcast, is on the W3C CSS Working Group, works as a design advocate at Mozilla, and has 20 years working on sites for the likes of CERN, the W3C and Google. Her current focus is layout for the Web, in particular new layout capabilities in CSS, […]

One of the informal benchmarks for a conference presentation is the number of tweets referencing it – and what they say, of course. The presentation Peter Wilson gave at Respond prompted many tweets, almost all of them expressing some surprise at how little they knew about HTTP2 and how clearly important it is. And that’s […]
