Episode 116 of The SitePoint Podcast is now available! This week Louis Simoneau (@rssaddict) talks with John Allsopp (@johnallsopp) about the use of web technologies in applications on many platforms, the phrase 'Hybrid Apps' and the future that gives for those with web development skills.
In 2000, when the web was less than half the age it is now, when the concept of web standards was still not much more than an ember carefully nurtured by a small group of practitioners who might fairly have been called fanatics (and less charitably, but just as accurately, lunatics), John Allsopp wrote "A Dao of Web Design".
Little did he know, and even less can he believe, that more than a decade later, an eon in internet years, it is still widely quoted by some of the web's most well known and respected practitioners, and considered by some to be a seminal text in web design.
So, ten years later, what does John now think about his thesis, and his suggestions for developers? In a world of highly fragmented user experiences, across all manner of screen sizes and input modes, what now seems hopelessly naïve? What if anything, stands the test of time. And what, if anything, new has John learned as he has continued to develop with web technologies over the last 10 years.
Come and listen as John revisits a Dao of Web Design.
We are pleased to have the legendary Jonathan Snook, author of SMACSS, on the first ever episode of ShopTalk. We got things going with some listener-submitted questions. We couldn't answer all the questions, but you should keep asking. Thanks for everyone who tuned in live and joined in on the IRC. We apologize for any technical errors. We'll work on getting more bandwidth sorted out for next week so we don't break the internet anymore.
