beyond tellerrand has just the right mix of inspiring, creative and technical talks for a creative developer with a passion for the web. It combines all of that with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and unrivalled attention to detail.
Video: Miriam Suzanne – Hints and Suggestions: The Design of Web Design
Miriam Suzanne opened the second day of beyond tellerrand in Berlin in 2024 with a perfectly fitting talk. Not only dd the topic match, but also Miriam always is able to set the audience on fire and into the right mood for the upcoming day with talks. Always a great pleasure having her on board and being part of the festival. Here is the full video of her opening presentation.
Hints and Suggestions: The Design of Web Design
The web is fundamentally different from other platforms, built around a radical political vision for resilience, adaptability, and user control. With that vision under threat, the Cascade takes on an almost absurd task – styling unknown content, with unknown collaborators, on an infinite and unknowable canvas, across browsers, languages, writing modes, and device interfaces.
This is a dive into the origins of the web, and CSS in particular – the design constraints, the range of strange proposals, and how we got where we are. By the end, we have a better understanding of the cascade, and see the ‘CSS is Awesome’ meme in a new light.
