I am on the Edge of the Web

Well I am speak­ing at the Edge of the Web Con­fer­ence in Perth in Novem­ber. The title Pro­gress­ive Enhance­ment with CSS: Or how I stopped wor­ry­ing about IE6 and start­ing lov­ing CSS3.

The aim is to show how you can use CSS2 and CSS3 to improve the exper­i­ence of vis­it­ors using mod­ern browsers, while not block­ing access to those people still using older browsers like IE6. I want to con­vince the audi­ence, that you can build sites that do not have to look the same in all browsers.

I will be look­ing at what CSS2 and CSS3 you can safely imple­ment now. The main pro­vi­sion it must not break IE6. It does not have to work in IE6, just have a safe fall­back position.

The present­a­tion is not aimed at people who read Surfin Safari, CSS3.info or sim­ilar sites and then go off an exper­i­ment with what they have been shown. That is what I do

I know I will be cov­er­ing those I covered inde­pth before like opacity/transparency and <a href=http://nickcowie.com/2008/font-face/”>@font-face. Are there any other CSS2 or CSS3 prop­er­ties you would like to see me cover? Oth­er­wise I might go all shock and awe with transitions ;-)
