London Web Standards July is nearly upon us. We’ll be meeting on the 13th of July at the Square Pig in Holborn (see the previous post).
This month Ben Dodson will be discussing JavaScript Best Practices.
After an exhaustive search of central London pubs with function room and many, many beers, we’ve finally found a new venue.
The new venue is The Square Pig in Holborn. We’ll be meeting there for the next meetup on the 13th of July, where Ben Dodson will be giving a presentation on JavaScript Best Practices.
You may have noticed that we’ve replaced the London Web Standards logo on the Meetup page. It’s not a very good logo. I can say that because I designed it, and it took me all of 10 minutes.
Think you can do better? So do I!
Announcing the London Web Standards logo competition.
A few London Web Standards members are taking the W3C’s Introduction to Mobile Web Best Practices. Between twitter and the mailing list, we’ve organised a study group.
We’ll be meeting on Mondays, when the new course materials are posted. The course starts tomorrow, and we’ll be having our first study group.
- What: W3C Mobile Web Best Practices: London Study Group (Week 1)
- When: 1 June 2009 @ 6:00pm - 8:00pm
- Where: The Cafe at Foyles on Charing Cross Road
How do you keep your CSS files from exploding as your site grows? How do you prevent the creation of new CSS rules for every new page? How can you structure CSS to facilitate reuse?
Justin Cormack of Squiz UK will be addressing these questions, using Squiz’s Mashable Design, Nicole Sullivan’s Object Oriented CSS and SASS as examples.
If you’d like to join us, please RSVP on the meetup site.
At the last London Web Standards meetup, we discussed setting up a blog to keep a record of content (presentations, etc.) generated by the meetups.
We’ll also be using this blog as a hub for the group — a place for members to connect with one another.
There should be a number of improvements to the blog over the next couple of weeks — domain name, theme, more sidebar elements, etc.
We’ll announce it to the world once it’s ready for prime time.
