Last month I gave this training presentation to the Interactive team at work. While many of the concepts discussed may be nothing new to some of you it was intended to get everyone, including back-end devs and designers, on the same page as to what our capabilities are.

The clients in my particular industry tend to still be very conservative so the discussion of how to handle older versions of Internet Explorer comes up routinely. I mainly ignore IE in this slide deck because, let’s face it, it just isn’t going to handle many of these CSS3 properties without additional workarounds. I touch upon that a little, but the subtext is to always strive for progressive enhancement and graceful degradation.

Hopefully others will find this useful in some capacity. If you do use it for training others, learn something new or have a suggestion I’d love to hear it, so please leave a comment.

An Introduction to CSS3

Some of the older posts won’t be displayed perfectly due to the old size of thumbnails and I’m okay with that. Time to move forward.

Every passing day this thing looks more and more dated. Hell, I’ll admit it wasn’t the nicest to look at, but it had some solid programming ideas behind it. Now I find myself longingly browsing premium WordPress theme galleries looking for something simple and responsive. I just want something where I can throw a link up to my latest work, bring in some tweets™, and give my contact info so the work-work-work-rest-work-work cycle can continue.

“But surely I can build something just as nice!” Yes, if only there were time.
