For those who have not seen my Edge of the Web CSS3 demon­stra­tion I used the CSS Zen Garden HTML. Why, because I wanted to use some­body else’s HTML, mainly because I wanted to show it works with any HTML and that most people would be famil­iar with the site.

I will not sub­mit it, because Dave has not accep­ted any new sub­mis­sions almost two year, my demo is far from the visual stand­ard of most other design and I broke one major rule the CSS does not validate.

I really enjoyed devel­op­ing my present­a­tion for Edge of the Web. The research and exper­i­ment­a­tion was a lot of fun. Explore the demo using CSS Zen Garden HTML and ser­i­ously try it in IE6, the Web­Jam present­a­tion with some even more out­rageous trans­itions needs Safari4 or FF3.7 and a little explor­ing with a mouse.

What I learnt is enough from prob­ably a dozen blog posts, so hope­fully I will be writ­ing lot in the next few weeks.

Dir­ect from Bar­Camp Perth2.0, here are the slides, the present­a­tion plan and intro­duc­tion I used.

Stew­art Green­hill aka the Green­Guy has pos­ted the video of my ses­sion the social net­work in your pocket on viddler.

If you wondered why it has been quiet around here lately, I have spent the last two weeks research­ing and pre­par­ing for my present­a­tion at Pod­Camp Perth 2007.

My second Web­Jam was inter­est­ing event. Held after WDS07 on a Sat­urday even­ing, in front of a couple hun­dred people. What was inter­est­ing was the line up of speak­ers. The biggest sur­prise for me was the lim­ited num­ber of local speak­ers, there was three inter­na­tional speak­ers Andy Clarke, Aaron Gust­afson and Chaals from Opera, add to that the WA con­ti­gent of me and Myles and you had I think 9 locals.

Sue of Mobile Tech­no­logy in TAFE of has taken my Web­Jam slide show added audio from Greenguy’s video and com­bined them to pro­duce a much improved ver­sion of my present­a­tion without me boun­cing around the stage. The res­ult­ing dis­cus­sion is interesting.

Thanks to Green­Guy, my moment of glory/infamy at Web­Jam is now on YouTube.

aka the art of the 3 minute presentation

The websledge present­a­tion is on slide­share, it has had a couple of minor addi­tions (ie what I should of added earlier). But it really needs an audio track, because the words are far more import­ant than the slides, plus you miss the cheer from the staff of one web design com­pany when they find the have not been left out. I will let you know if the video goes online.

Cre­at­ing a 3 minute present­a­tion for Web­Jam is harder than cre­at­ing a 30 minute present­a­tion for another event…

I had a visit from our ven­ues coordin­ator this after­noon, need­ing a Mac­book Pro to VGA con­nector, I was happy to oblige. This was shortly fol­lowed by a phone to help the presenter get the pro­jector to dis­play prop­erly. Arriv­ing at lec­ture theatre I found…
