Object Oriented CSS with Nicole Sullivan
ATTENTION: CHANGE OF VENUE - THIS EVENT IS GOING TO BE AT ETSY OFFICE IN DUMBO.
At our June speaker session we have a special guest, Nicole Sullivan ( @stubbornella) who will talk about CSS and how it affects Front End Performance.
Nicole's talks are always great and filled with great advice for front-end developers and designers, starting with her advices to designers and now with OOCSS movement. I often quote her when I talk about the role of look & feel artists play in performance field.
Nicole Sullivan is an Evangelist, CSS Ninja, Front-End Performance consultant and author. She started the Object-Oriented CSS open source project, which answers the question: how do you scale CSS for millions of visitors or thousands of pages? She consulted with the W3C, Yahoo! and Facebook and helped them to dramatically improve their CSS code. She is also the co-creator of Smush.it, an image optimization service in the cloud. She is passionate about CSS, web standards, and scalable front-end architecture for large commercial websites. She co-authored Even Faster Websites and blogs at http://stubbornella.org

It's possible that somebody else was faster then you, unfortunately.
We're trying to get another venue due to an overwhelming last moment response. I hope to send the announcement later today if we have more space.

Roger Steve RuizThis was a great talk. Learned a lot about how front-end developers need to re-examine our best practices when it comes to the web. Also, how to tackle going from our current mess and towards a OO-approach for our CSS.Checked-in

gshockit was pretty cool. initially, it's a little hard to figure out where the presentation was going to go, but the wrap-up was really good. all the Q&As at the end of the presentation show that the developers had some concerns that they wanted to and/or needed to talk about with an expert in the subject.

YanNicole shared her valuable experience of working in Facebook, it's very helpful for us who are also working on complex projects to rethink how to keep the code clean and effective.
