DESCRIPTION

“Progressive enhancement” involves designing sites in a way that allows everyone to access the basic content of a web page while also providing enhanced versions to visitors with faster bandwidth or more advanced browsers. In this session, Aaron Gustafson covers the current best practice in this critical aspect of web standards development. Staring with an introduction to the topic, Aaron will walk you through the best ways to apply style and behavior to your pages, providing concrete examples and implementations that you can start using right away.
