This afternoon I am sitting in a workshop with Andy Clarke, author of Transcending CSS.
Mentioned:
- Ryan Carson, UK
- Jeffery Zeldman, Happy Cog
- Eric Meyer, Complex Spiral
- Jason Santa Maria, Happy Cog
- Dave Shea, Mezzoblue.com
- Steven Champeon, hesketh.com
- Nate Koechley, Yahoo
- Microformats: Hcard
Intermission: had a cigarette with Andy, whose son apparently uses Bebo and not Facebook or MySpace.
Why would you use div[id="content_main"] instead of div#content_main?
To enable branching from older browsers to newer browsers. Exactly which browsers belong in which branch?
Getting into Specificity, apparently only a few of the designers in the room actually know what it is and how it works. This is an interview question that I use to test designers applying to Bebo.

Specificity Wars
Using Attribute sub-string selectors to generate content:
- E[foo~="bar"]
- E[foo^="bar"]
- E[foo$="bar"]
- E[foo*="bar"]
Pseudo elements and classes:
- li:last-child {}
- p:first-line {}
and on…
