You’ll never have to worry about parts of your view remaining out of sync with updates made by other parts. Because all views reflect the current state of…

From the abstract: Computer programs are the most complicated things that humans make. They must be perfect, which is hard for us because we are not perfect. Programming is thought to be a “head” activity, but there is a lot of “gut” involved. Indeed, it may be the gut that gives us the insight necessary for solving hard problems. But gut messes us up when it come to matters of style. The systems in our brains that make us vulnerable…

ETE 2012 – Chris Converse – Advanced Techniques in Responsive Web Experiences

|

From the abstract: Responsive Web Design has gained incredible momentum over the past year, and has lead to various strategies in web authoring. In it’s simplest form, CSS3 media queries allow us to manipulate elements of our page to fit multiple screen sizes. This alone can be enough to implement your web content to a broad array of users. When we combine features of CSS, such as absolute positioning and background images, with alternate HTML markup techniques, we can begin…

From the abstract: In this talk, we take a look at some specific Functional Programming patterns that regularly arise in everyday programming. These patterns are used to solve the same problems that DI attempts to by decoupling data types from their dependencies. We explore the algebraic properties of these techniques and discover how they give rise to useful programming properties that we may apply in our typical work. This talk focuses on the techniques rather than any particular programming language,…
