Improving Front-End Architecture

July 13, 2006 | 7:00pm – 9:00pm

As we progress towards richer interfaces and rely increasingly on JavaScript and CSS to sculpt user experiences, front-end development is becoming more complex. Cobbling together some CSS, markup, scripting, and other technologies without planning just won’t cut it anymore.

The panel will review both the technical and business benefits of a good front-end architecture as well as the costs of a poor one by reviewing real-world examples and non-examples from well-known sites and applications and illustrate exactly how they could be better.

Just for Fun. Miss the original design? Use this handy little gizmo.

The old design didn’t work well with any respectable amount of content, but for those of you who prefer the ~~boring monotony~~ elegant simplicity of that layout, the style switcher is just what the doctor ordered. I want one column!

Jonathan Snook gives us a great piece on objectifying JavaScript.
Roger uses JavaScript and CSS to create simple and unobtrisive pull quotes without redundant content in the markup.

I love it when Kathy takes something so plainly obvious and articulates it with such clarity that you want to kick yourself. Why marketing should make the user manuals.
