11 months agoPractical, maintainable CSS
Continuing my new years resolution to get better at public speaking, I have now given two talks in 2009 and am signed up to two more. It really does get easier! The last one I gave was (in hindsight) really quite fun.
Last Wednesday I spoke about what I do to the Girl Geeks of Brighton at the Eagle. An event with a good community atmosphere and fantastic food, there were lots of new faces there too.
Here are my slides from the event, they contain some of the same material to my Barcamp presentation however its much more from a practical perspective aimed at an audience with a variable base level of knowledge in CSS.
If you are interested, the slides with notes are available online. I also used Silverback to record the presentation.

If you see me about at SxSW next week, come and say hi :)
Informative and funny speak!
Some of your ideas sound quite similar to Nicole Sullivans OO-CSS (http://wiki.github.com/stubbornella/oocss), especially when it comes to side-wide reusable modules and components.
As a web-developer (not -designer) I like the idea of reusable CSS and the way you do it.
Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the insightful presentation. What method do you use for clearing floats? Looking at some of the sites in the presentation it seems different methods are used. Is that to cater for different situations or because of an evolution in how you have tackled the problem?

Natalie,
Thanks for posting your presentation and accompanying slides. Entertaining and illuminating! Appreciate you posting the apps, browser tools, and testing resources you use, and found your 8 Rules of Fingers clean, simple, well-ordered...much like the goal of your coding.
