Web Visions 2006

Oregon Convention Center, Portland Oregon | July 20 – 21, 2006

Join the giants of design, user experience and business strategy at the Oregon Convention Center from July 20 to 21, 2006 to uncover the trends and agents of change that will shatter your assumptions about the Web.

Improving Front-End Architecture

July 21, 2006 | 9:45am – 10:45am

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 presentation 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.

Featured Stuff - Resources: Wireframes & Page Description Diagrames

Omnigraffle and Visio versions of the wireframe templates and stencils I use on all of my projects. There’s even a few examples included for good measure. More about Wireframe & Page Description Diagram Stencils and Templates

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!

Jeremy Johnson sets out to explain and visualize the nuts-and-bolts of a User Experience project with a great diagram.
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.
Jon Hicks provides a beautiful way to highlight those Microformats with CSS. Brilliant!
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.
