I was invited to present my Beyond Web Standards talk at J. Boye Philadelphia and, since I get bored with the same old slides, I redid the talk, yet again.
This latest version of the talk covered The Circle of Standards but, as a bonus, I also added on my notes about creating a style guide.
You can download the slides here. If you’d be interested in a podcast of the talk, please leave a comment!
I’m often asked how one can convince their employer to adopt Web standards, and unfortunately there isn’t a short or simple answer. That, in part, is why I created the Circle of Standards (both the process and the Web site). I also give presentations on this very topic, including one I’ll be doing today at the online <head> global web conference.
My slides are available for download and if there are questions that don’t get addressed sufficiently in the session, you can post them here.
More tutorial than strict style guide, the New York Public Library Online Style Guide contains information on XHTML and CSS for those developing pages that are part of the library system. Although written in 2001 (with the help of Carrie Bickner-Zeldman), all of the information is still relevant today.
NYPL continues to refine their best practices and processes, of course, and you can follow their progress on the NYPL Labs blog.
