Robert Haritonov | Front-end Components Based Prototyping [Fronteers 2014 Jam Session]
October 08, 2014 21:57 - 13 minutes VideoAs modern web designers start to do more design and prototyping in the browser, it's time to connect two worlds of modular front-end development and web based UI tools for site creation. In combination with Living Style Guides, front-end development teams could have the ultimate tool bundle for rapid prototyping and new page creation based on their own code block library (or web components). I will show demos of our prototyping tool and give some insights of how it works. More info at: https:...

Roy Tomeij | With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility [Fronteers 2014 Jam Session]
October 08, 2014 21:11 - 11 minutes VideoCSS has its limitations, and we try to work around them with pre-processors like Sass. With such a powerful tool comes great responsibility, which is often neglected. This leads to needlessly complex code, bad practices and developer unhappiness. Let’s investigate how to use Sass in real world situations, and maybe even more importantly: how not to. More info at: https://fronteers.nl/congres/2014/jam-session/sass
Menno van Slooten | Functional Testing for Dummies [Fronteers 2014 Jam Session]

Hay Kranen | Useless websites or internet art? The art of the webfolly [Fronteers 2014 Jam Session]
October 08, 2014 20:27 - 8 minutes VideoA folly is a costly ornamental building with no practical purpose, or a foolish act, idea, or practice. Webfollies are the 21st-century, internet-friendly version of this concept. Digital islands of art, experiments and silly ideas. Think short funny pointless games, single-serving websites, or confusing digital experiences. A webfolly can be virtually anything, the only thing that they have in common is that they serve no practical purpose and drift more towards art than entertainment. In th...

Maaike de Laat | A call to arms [Fronteers 2014 Jam Session]
October 08, 2014 19:26 - 9 minutes VideoWhenever a new technology is developed, the first applications mimic existing stuff. The first cars looked liked carriages. It took a while to get to a car design that actually works in a functional sense. This is called the Horseless Carriage Syndrome. It can be observed everywhere; especially in web design.

[NL] Peter-Paul Koch | The Mobile Viewports [Bijeenkomst bij Incentro]
September 24, 2014 18:00 - 1 hour VideoAls je eenmaal de dimensies van de layout viewport gelijk hebt gemaakt aan die van de ideal viewport, kan je de device-width media query gebruiken om die dimensies uit te lezen, en daarmee een idee te krijgen van het apparaat waar je website op draait. Drie viewports (layout, visual, and ideal), heb je ze allemaal nodig? Waarom werkt responsive design zoals het werkt? (Niet hoe. Waarom.) Wat gebeurt er als je de meta viewport instelt? Hoe gaan browsers de fout in? En hoe zit het met de resolu...
[NL] Steven Chim | Frontend Maturity Model [Bijeenkomst bij Incentro]

September 24, 2014 16:45 - 17 minutes VideoBij webapplicaties krijg je al snel te maken met veel verschillende modules.

Marcos Caceres | Responsive images: ain't we there yet? [Fronteers 2013]
October 11, 2013 11:50 - 49 minutes - 108 MB VideoThe debate around responsive images has been raging for about two years with seemingly limited traction from browser makers. Like anything Web, turns out that this problem is not as simple to solve as it first appears. To understand the complexities, we need to pop the hood of a browser and see how resources are requested without waiting for layout. Once we understand how a browser's handle image loading, we can then start discussing possible solutions — of which there are many right now on t...
Harry Roberts | Rationalising designs for better quality code [Fronteers 2013]
October 11, 2013 10:00 - 51 minutes - 98.3 MB VideoIt’s hard to deny that websites need to be well designed; a pleasing UI, a seamless and pleasant UX, and a great personality really encourage users to interact and enjoy using your site, product or service. However, the design is only one part of a finished product; your product is built on code, and oftentimes it is necessary to sacrifice certain aspects of a design in order to keep the codebase itself leaner, faster, and more enjoyable to work with. In this talk Harry aims to share some of ...

Garann Means | How to rewrite your JS app (at least) 10 times [Fronteers 2013]
October 11, 2013 07:50 - 47 minutes - 102 MB VideoIt would be nice if developers could download a JavaScript framework, plug in the custom logic required for their particular problem, and have a functional, scalable, and reliable application. As any who's tried can probably tell you, however, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't matter if your application has 5000 "pages" or less than 50 - it will eventually become a large application in terms of code, because size of code is not just a measure of the complexity of the app itself, but of it...
Oliver Reichenstein | Responsive typography [Fronteers 2013]
October 11, 2013 07:00 - 57 minutes - 109 MB VideoWith the chaos of different screen sizes and a new generation of web browsers, the design paradigms of layout and typography have shifted away from static layouts and system fonts to dynamic layouts and custom web fonts. But screens have not just changed in size but also in pixel density. In other words: maybe we do not just need responsive layouts, we might also need responsive typefaces. iA started experimenting with reponsive typefaces in 2012. A short rundown of what we have learned since...

Luc(as) de Groot | On designing typefaces [Fronteers 2013]
October 10, 2013 14:00 - 42 minutes - 101 MB VideoDesigning typefaces isn't easy. They generally consist of thousands of glyphs, all of which need to be designed, given kerning and hinting instructions and of course tested. It can, therefore, take years to complete a typeface. Luc(as) will go over what it takes to produce webfonts as well as discuss licensing issues from a type designer's perspective.

Paul Lewis | A developer's guide to rendering performance [Fronteers 2013]
October 10, 2013 12:40 - 51 minutes - 124 MB VideoWhen we look back over the history of web performance we see a heavy focus on reducing the number of requests and getting files to the browser quickly. Our platform has changed a lot, and while optimizing for network performance remains a crucial part of our jobs, we now have to broaden our performance horizons. Our users also expect smooth scrolling, animations and interactions, even on mobile devices. In short we need to deal with not just how quickly our sites and apps load, but also how q...
