Web Standards
- Is it time to retire?
This blog, I mean The history of Zombiecoder is thus: I started blogging on my original personal web site, http://kay.smoljak.com/. After the MXDU conference in 2003, I got added to the Fullasagoog aggregator in the ColdFusion category, and eventually to Macromedia/Adobe’s MXNA. The great thing about aggregators is that they bring you a lot [...] - Web standards for developers - presentation recording now available
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of presenting (virtually) to the New Zealand ColdFusion User Group on CSS and web standards. David Harris runs the meetings with both physical attendees in Auckland and virtual attendees through Adobe Connect. The recording of that presentation (with slides) is now available. It sounds a little scratchy, [...] - Conferencing
So, I just got back from Web Directions South, and it was AMAZING. The people, the atmosphere, the speakers… unfortunately it was over far too quickly. The WDS07 podcasts are now available so if you didn’t go, you can get a taste of what you missed out on. Or if you did go, you can catch up [...] - Do we really need standards for HTML email?
There’s been some posts circulating lately about HTML email, and the horrible things that email clients do to display them, and the need for standards. Many people in the web standards community, while supporting the idea of standards for everything, have a distinct dislike of HTML email. I can understand where they are coming from. HTML email, when [...] - Port80 Sydney
Perth has a long and well-established “Port80“ tradition that is by now known around the country (well, in the web industry anyway). The monthly informal pub get-togethers, which have been going since 2002, have been the birthplace of great ideas like the Australian Web Industry Association and the WA Web Awards, to name but two. In the past couple of years, other [...] - Web Directions 2007: the meme
The programme for Web Directions 2007 has been released, and there’s certainly going to be some hard decisions on what to go see. With three streams this year, there’s even more that I will sadly have to miss, seeing as I haven’t yet mastered being in two places at once, let alone three. It’s also [...] - The first podcamp Australia will be in Perth
So, after lots of bitching, speculation, and god knows what else, the podcamp Australia people have announced that the first event will be held in Perth, in October 2007. Apparently, Perth got more votes than the rest of Australia combined. Go Perth! Our local web industry has been going a bit nuts lately. Seems we’re [...] - Podcamp Australia?
It was shortly after the hugely successful Perth BarCamp that someone noticed podcamp.info. This appeared to be an attempt to start a similar style of unconference event in Australia. Being the happy and enthusiastic crowd we are here in Perth - and still hyped up from recent BarCamp - Perth peeps got behind the vote to send BarCamp [...] - WebJam Perth

“People who make websites have been at it for more than a dozen years, yet almost nothing is known, statistically, about our profession.” A List Apart are running a “web peeps” survey, to try and find out some demographic information about our fledgling industry. Who are we? What do we do and where do we come [...]
