Ten Commandments of Modern Web Design
Thou shalt ship. Thou shalt iterate. Love thy reader as thyself. Like their biblical predecessors, the ten commandments of modern web design can inspire us to be and do better. Learn to think noncanonically about responsive layouts, to avoid bearing false visual witness, to keep the content holy, and more.

The Spirit Of The Web
With the explosion of Web-enabled devices of all shapes and sizes, the practice of Web design and development seems more complex than ever. But if we can learn to see below this overwhelming surface to the underlying Web beneath, we can learn to make sites not for specific devices but for the people using them.

Don't Look Down
Being passionate about the content of our devices is one thing, but letting it consume us — taking us away from the real world — is another. Naomi will challenge what can be of inspiration to us, when looking up from the screen. What can make us better at our craft, and generally happier in life, when our nose isn't lit by that oh so unflattering light.

Sorting out the designers from the developers
An interactive session to create a live infographic based on audience participation. Don't worry though, it's not too interactive ;)

When responsive sites work as well as a chocolate iPhone
Ling from LINGsCARS will demonstrate why the experts are often wrong and why you need un-responsive mobile sites. She says "Making my website responsive would simply explode an iPhone on impact, and set an Android phone processor on fire. It would be a superb one off viral, but I can't afford the litigation".

Crafting your Toolset
Everyone's process is different and it's always fascinating to see how other designers and developers approach a new project. Eddie will walk through how he went about building the Handheld 2013 site and the trials and tribulations he endured. Bring some tissues, it's going to be a real tear jerker.
Live Music
House Band
House Band
Rather than have a few minutes of watching techies waggling leads and checking screens between speakers, we have a live band to keep you entertained.
