Speakers

DAY 1

Dan Rubin Day 1 Keynote

Dan Rubin is a highly accomplished user interface designer and usability consultant, with over ten years of experience as a leader in the fields of web standards and usability, specifically focusing on the use of HTML5 and CSS3 to streamline development and improve accessibility.

His passion for all things creative and artistic isn't a solely selfish endeavor either--you'll frequently find him waxing educational about a cappella jazz and barbershop harmony, interface design, usability, web standards, typography, and graphic design in general.

Greg Rewis Advanced CSS3 Session

Greg Rewis is the Group Manager for Creative Solutions Evangelism at Adobe Systems. With over 20 years of computer industry experience, Greg spends in excess of 200 days of the year on the road, talking with customers, giving product demonstrations at trade shows and seminars, speaking at industry conferences, and leading specialized, advanced training sessions featuring Adobe’s Web Tools product line. Greg is the co-author of Mastering CSS with Dreamweaver published by New Riders.

When not on-the-road, Greg spends his time with his MacBook Pro on his lap, hanging out with his co-author and wife, Stephanie Sullivan, playing the guitar or killing his two sons in Call Of Duty on the Playstation 3.

Stephanie (Sullivan) Rewis CSS3 Session

Stephanie Sullivan, founder and principal of W3Conversions, has been a web professional since 1999. A sought-after speaker, tech editor, corporate trainer, author, and coding guru, she's called on to solve especially perplexing problems for high-profile websites. Her true passion is creating impeccable markup and code behind the design, and teaching others how to do the same. Stephanie is available for in-house, customized corporate training.

Although she loves making websites fast-loading and lean, she loves beach volleyball even more. She tears herself away from the little people in her computer at least three times a week to get sandy or play Squash. Stephanie headquarters her business in the desert of Phoenix, AZ. Her hobby, if only she had time? Studying brain function. Her guilty pleasure? Eighties music.

David McFarland jQuery Session

He’s been the Web master at the University of California, Berkeley and oversaw a complete CSS-based redesign of Macworld.com.

Dave's books include CSS: The Missing Manual, JavaScript: The Missing Manual and Dreamweaver: The Missing Manual, and he's a regular columnist at CreativePro.com. In addition, Dave has been teaching Web design, development and programming for over 10 years. He currently teaches in the multimedia program at Portland State University.

Chris Coyier Web Workflow Session

Chris is the force behind CSS-Tricks.com, currently working as Wufoo's Lead Hucklebucker. Chris is a Wordpress expert having authored the Digging into Wordpress book and the Lynda.com Wordpress 3 tutorial series.

She is an advocate for holistic creative solutions. Her diverse background gives her a unique perspective on teaching career development and professional practices.

Meagan Fisher Designing for the Web Session

Well-organized, semantically-correct, validating HTML5 and CSS3 gives her the butterflies. Fresh, creative typography makes her swoon. Interface designs so simple Grandma can navigate them make her want to sing.

Working within a variety of frameworks (She has a soft spot for Rails) puts her on cloud nine. The satisfaction of taking a concept from sketch to launch makes her weak in the knees.

Meagan Fisher is head-over-heels in love with great web design! That love is evident in all she does. Along the way she has worked with Rails Machine, Halogen Guides, Airbag Industries, Change.org, and MTV.

Carl Smith Working Smarter Session

Owner and founder of nGen Works, Carl Smith runs an unconventional distributed team that works with businesses to redefine their identities and ideals.

Carl has made a name for himself in client services by creating a new framework for how we get things done, and by enabling us to realign our creative communities.

When he’s not conducting riveting business experiments with his nGeneers or consulting for global trendsetters, he’s busy sculpting a new face for the world of work.

Josh Clark Mobile Design Session

Josh Clark is a designer, developer, and author specializing in iPhone and iPad user experience. He's author of the O'Reilly books Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps and Best iPhone Apps: The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders.
