Barney Carrol is a web designer and front-end developer who started working in the field 4 years ago. He's particularly interested in cutting-edge web tech, and more generally innovative ideas that use open technology to make life easier and more interesting. On Tuesday, he will be talking about 'html.meta' a front-end web development mechanism he has created.

Barney says...

The subject is a mechanism I've developed involving attaching class names to the html element of web pages to drastically alter presentation based on document meta. My talk explores two specific age-old problems for front-end web developers that are currently dealt with, if at all, in bloated, confused and disparate ways; presents detailed alternatives using my method; goes over the enablers behind the solution and the patterns behind problem case scenarios; and points to other specific scenarios that could benefit from the technique.
