MinneBar 7: What We Don't Know

On any given request for a website, there is precious little we know about the players involved. We don't know who the user is, where they live, what they speak, really anything about them. They are using a browser, but we don't know what that browser is. We don't know how they interact with that browser. That browser is on some device that we don't know about and we don't know how that device connects to to the internet.

All we know is about the server where our website is hosted and the files we put there. We can make a better web by accommodating these unknowns.

hmmm not sure what might be wrong. css-tricks[dot]com/incontrol-2­012-slides seems to work for me but you can also just visit css-tricks[dot]com and search for incontrol and it should be the first result.

Oh oh! 404!

Slides from a recent version of this talk at css-tricks[dot]com/incontrol-2­012-slides just replace the [dot] with a '.' and it will take your to the slide deck.

MinneBar 7: What We Don't Know Links

YouTube prevents adding links to posts so gist.github[dot]com/3023730

and just replace [dot] with well '.' and you will see a list of all the links.

Nice talk by Chris Coyer, he's someone I look up to but it's a shame that some of the slides are just white squares.
