Same here. I think the return to "do whatever you want and we try to interpret it correctly" was wrong. Code in XHTML is way more readable, maintainable and easier to learn (IMO).

I still write my HTML5 in correct XHTML Syntax.

Kroes called for "tracking technologies, to permit a totally transparent process for artists and intermediaries to find out who is looking at what artwork when and to distribute revenues accordingly”.

I think we all know where this is going.

Same here. I'm really trying hard to get into freelancing but since I'm not really good in networking I haven't come around to get a decent project yet. My current plan is building a strong online portfolio, which is hard to do without find any gigs.

If anyone is looking for a jr. front-end Dev., Wordpress Dev. or beginning Rails Dev. drop me a line. I'd appreciate it :) Languages: JS, Python, Ruby, PHP

BTW: It would be awesome if someone could start a site with projects for BEGINNING Freelancers or for people with less experience than usual.

It could make sense for smaller projects and could even feature something like more experienced "buddys" who watch over the process? Just some ideas :)

I think the online classes with ready-to-go coding insie the browser are something to be really excited about. They lower the barrier into programming by so many levels...

True. It's important to know when to stop something. Sometimes the project just isn't worth your time anymore

It's kind of funny how a summer project of 3 students lets the effort of a backed SV startup look like a project from a 13 year old child.

I mean what are "knowlabs" even contributing here? The Videos are hosted on Youtube and recorded using... PAPER???

Ok you might say: but there are quizzes!! Those quizzes are the least userfriendly quizzed I've seen in my life. ML & DB-class are way ahead on this front.

"A new Android application will follow soon."

The first point is actually the best thing that has come from Mobile Design thus far. It significantly reduced the amount of unnecessary distracting Ads on the page. Since, as you've said, they are usually used to fill the space larger Environments offer.

I've used the mobile first approach for my last project and I think a site isn't truly responsive if it hasn't a liquid(%) layout. Building those layouts is a pretty messy thing though :(

I'm really not happy with the current situation of web design. Especially the "looks great on every screen AND device" part. To create a truly responsive Design you have to incorporate Orientation, Width, Height, Pixel density and much more. (which usually nobody bothers with since this would be way to complicated) People are using only subsets of these, so the sites often break on different devices, etc.

Then there's the problem with the content. Mobile users won't necessarily need all the things Desktop users do, since they usually have a very clear picture of what they want to do on the site. There needs to be an easy server-side implementation for such things. (would love to hear about it if someone knows any related projects)

PS: Please allow your users do "default" to a standard-version. I've seen so many sites break on mobile phones, making them completely useless...

seriously? downvotes for an opinion different to yours?

Well depends on the purpose. For general tasks it's really vastly superior to most other languages.

I personally don't like some things about the syntax but that's just my personal opinion :)

Thank you. :) Going to be a long night. (european resident here)

which speakers did I miss?

Will this be free in the future or based on a premium subscription model?

Well I'd argue that it is the same with good vs. bad doctors. The bad ones just try to fix your symptoms while the good ones try to fix the underlying problems. The bad ones can also be driven by selfish greed. If they "heal" their patients, they don't need them as often and therefore they loose potential money.

Which is still a much better chance than trying to defeat the cancer with alternative medicine...

Guess the launch of Android 4.0 in two days will show us where we're going.

It basically decides the future for 3 major products: Smartphones Tablets Google TV (this could be a LARGE market if they find the right partners)

Add to that the fact that big G will probably try to push Google+ even further with this new generation and this makes the event more important than any previous Google Keynote.

I think these Stanford courses are even superior to the MIT OpenCourseWare ones. The quality of these videos along with the feeling that the teacher is directly speaking to YOU is just impressive.

I also have to say, that I absolutely love the "khan"-Style presentations

I think it's a good approach to collect a few screenshots, order them into coherent groups and them try to abstract some "pattern".

The screenshots themselves aren't really a pattern though... so I definitely agree with you :)
