The Highland Fling - Web Standards in Scotland
January 19th, 2007
Well, the cat’s out of the bag, over the last few months I have been a busy little bee trying to bring some of the best minds in web development to Scotland and low and behold I present to you The Highland Fling - Web Standards in Scotland.
The conference is aimed at bringing together the Scottish web development community so that we can all meet each other and have some fun whilst learning from the best in the industry. I’d like to take this opportunity to invite you all along, the tickets are not on sale quite yet but if you would like to register your interest then I will be back in touch as soon as they go on sale. So, on to the details.
The Event
This inaugural Highland Fling conference will cover the topic of progressive enhancement and is designed to make developers aware of both the benefits and pitfalls involved of using such technologies, how to use them, when not to use them, and what the future holds.
The event will be held at the Symposium Hall in Edinburgh on the 5th of April 2007, if you are interested you can track the event over at Upcoming.
