Responsive design involves more than just fluid grids and media queries. The move to adaptive web sites touches every part of an organisation: from content needs and content management, to editorial workflows and project management. The way we design and build web sites is changing, but the way we write, manage, and evolve our websites needs to change, too. Mark will share his thoughts and experience of how adopting responsive web design practices needs to begin in the boardroom, rather than the developer’s office.

10 minutes about RingoJS, a Node.js-like CommonJS environment, which supports threaded JavaScript on the server (aka "Workers"). More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2012/jam-session/concurrent-server-side-js-on-the-jvm-philipp-naderer

Usually game development in web use flash, canvas or webgl. But today you may use also CSS with little bit of js. I want to show couple of tricks and explain why CSS sometimes may be good decision.

The web has changed but the way we approach new web projects hasn't. In this talk I'll compare the old defaults we used to work with, like desktop screen sizes, mouse interaction and some ideas about site structure with new defaults, new ideas based on the current web.

New CSS properties like transitions, gradients and, of course, pseudo-elements — :before and :after. People use them to create complex things just on a single html element, for some extra decorations without any bloated markup and for so much more. However, pseudo-elements have a major drawback — you couldn't use CSS transitions on them. Until now! Right now the only browser who know how to transition values on pseudos is FireFox. But I'll talk about the method any modern browser would understand — and by which any modern browser could show you transitions for most of the CSS properties right on the pseudo-elements. It's a hacky, quirky way, it won't work for any property, but it's better than nothing — with transitions on pseudo-elements a lot of things would be possible — and I'll show some live examples during my talk.

How we were asked to build a continuous, full-screen, interactive animation for a client and the hilarity that ensued. A tale of feature detection, CSS animations and transitions, scripted animation, hardware acceleration and performance.

Development of a formula for selecting clients. Or better: how can a selection be improved if you have the choice? Customers send out signals before you make the contract. Read, analyze and understand them. So the goal has to be not a customerMatchAll(), more a matchCustomer() paired with giveMeMoneyAndShutUp(true). But some exceptions are allowed on the road to success ;-) More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2012/jam-session/how-to-improve-selector-performance-when-selecting-customers-marc-hinse

Being Russia's search giant, Yandex employs thousands of developers, who are daily challenged by a huge amount of frontend development problems. Such as fast developing, maintaining long-lived services, code reusing, team scalability an many more. I would like to share with the comminity our solutions to these problems and speak about how they evolved through time and technological changes.

I'll be starting off by trying to identify the difference (UI wise) between Web Sites and Web Apps. Then I'll be showing how CSS Flexbox greatly simplifies creating Web Apps. Not just by talking about it using slides, but rather through live coding and examples. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2012/jam-session/flexible-web-apps-simurai
