The road to professional web development – my university talk in Taiwan (now with Audio)

Thursday, April 16th, 2009 at 12:11 pm

I just came back from giving my first talk in Taiwan and I have to say it seemed to have worked out well. The room was packed and people asked very good questions afterwards.

The first mistake - presentational markup

Talking and translation into Chinese

[slideshare id=1297512&doc=1297512]

In the slides I covered the history of web development, what we did wrong and what we should avoid in the future. I also covered the YUI and how it embodies some of the priniciples great web development is based on.

Update: Liang-Bin Hsueh posted an audio recording of the talk missing only the first five minutes.
