In this session Derek will explore the true meaning of accessibility for the modern web. Long-established principles of progressive enhancement help ensure a baseline level of functionality in your sites and applications. We want to make them truly useful experiences. We'll look at how the right mix of modern technology such as CSS3, HTML5, ARIA, JavaScript help you create functionality on web sites that works for everyone, including people with disabilities.

The Internet sits at the head of a long table of technologies that have revolutionised our world. Built on top of the base Internet stack, the World Wide Web has further democratised access to information, opened hitherto closed doors to human self-expression and communication, and laid the foundations of a semantically-rich and interconnected body of knowledge the likes of which have never been seen before.

Juriaan Mous vertelt eerst iets over Lable. Ze begonnen in 2009 met een applicatie voor mensen in de zorg. Eerst werd die door Juriaan alleen gebouwd met behulp van de Prototype.js library. Doordat er steeds meer ontwikkelaars aan de site mee gingen werken, werd besloten om over te gaan op de Google Web Toolkit. De hele applicatie werd opnieuw gebouwd.

Being someone who works for the web is having the best job in the world. There is really nothing that compares in terms of creativity, sharing and reach. Of course there are nagging issues but if we really take a look from afar at what we are doing there is a lot of fun to be had. In this session Chris Heilmann will show just how cool it is to be who we are and how to get joy out of our day to day jobs even when we think that everything is against us. We have the tools, we have the knowledge, we have the time. What we lack sometimes is the knowledge where to look, what to use and how to sell ourselves. Here you'll hear all about it and you will find a lot of reasons to be cheerful. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2010/sessions/reasons-to-be-cheerful-chris-heilmann

For much of its existence, JavaScript has been slow. No one complained until developers created complex web applications with thousands of lines of JavaScript code. Although newer JavaScript engines have improved the situation, there's still a lot to understand about what makes JavaScript slow and what you can do to speed up your code.

CSS3 allows us to make designs feel like part of the natural world; with the organic curves of border radius, the subtle lighting effects of box-shadow, and the gentle glow of text-shadow, websites can feel more lifelike than ever. CSS3 animations and transitions add a new dimension of character to the experience of using a site, and multiple background images allow for rich textures. In my talk, I'll explain how you can use CSS3 techniques to make your designs jump off the screen.

HTML5 and friends have been getting implemented in browsers at an impressively quick pace. But that leaves us as web developers wondering, "Great, but how am I supposed to build cross-browser applications with these features when I still have to support IE".
