An Event Apart Atlanta 2012 Notes
By Evan Mullins on February 11, 2012
Here is my collection of notes from attending An Event Apart Atlanta 2012. As I took notes, I had the thought that I’d be sharing them with co-workers and that it’d be easiest to just publish them here. I hope they are useful to someone else out there who didn’t take notes on something or [...]

Developing for old browsers is (almost) a thing of the past – (37signals)
By Evan Mullins on February 10, 2012
Basecamp announces that it’s new version will not support old browsers! They will of course continue to support them in their “classic” version. But this is good news and as more implement this type of policy the internet will be happy. It used to be one of the biggest pains of web development. Juggling different [...]

Vendor Prefixes – about to go south
By Evan Mullins on February 10, 2012
What are “standards” coming to? Who’s guilty? Apple and Chrome: They’re supporting vendor prefixed properties like they’re a standard part of development. Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer: They should have been on the ball more. Need to push their evangelism further. Teach developers that it’s not exclusively -webkit to style elements. All the browsers: experimental [...]

An Event Apart Notes: Jared Spool, The Curious Properties of Intuitive Web Pages
By Evan Mullins on February 7, 2012
Senseless waste of asterisks… Avis used an asterisk to denote optional fields. This means that there is a lot of baggage that comes with an asterixk. Somewhere this symbol got meaning, it’s not in the bible! We can control when something goes from unintuitive to intuitive. A design is intuitive (although technically and grammatically speaking [...]

By Evan Mullins on February 7, 2012
The iPhone changed our industry in 2007: first mobile to have a desktop class web browser and it made people start using their mobile phones as computers!

An Event Apart Notes: Josh Clark, Buttons are a Hack
By Evan Mullins on February 7, 2012
Mobile and touch should be revolutionizing design and user experience. We don’t want to touch a tiny link or button. Back button is just stupid. Fitz’s Law, make things fat proximal targets for easy touching. People are lazy, let’s as designers LET people be lazy! Maybe even use the whole screen as your control. Eliminate [...]
