Are you struggling to stay up-to-date with the state of web development? Are you interested in why the web sites you maintain are using tables everywhere? Would you like to know some of the wonderful things that have been created in the last 30 years to make web development easier?

In this talk, Doug Bell will show the most important new developments in web technologies. In addition, he’ll explore the history of those technologies, how they’ve been improved, current best practices, and things to watch for in the future.

If you’re a former web developer looking to see what’s new, or a current web developer looking to see how we got here, this talk is for you.
