Fronteers — vakvereniging voor front-end developers

Six more names (05-09-2012)

We are proud to announce that we have added a few more names to our line-up: Mark Boulton, Peter Nederlof and Alex Graul have all agreed to give us a presentation. In addition, there will be an accessibility-panel with Bram Duvigneau, Bor Verkroost and Antoine Hegeman.

On the list of speakers which have been announced so far, you could have seen them already: Addy Osmani, Anne van Kesteren, David DeSandro, Marcin Wichary, Mathias Bynens, Lea Verou, Phil Hawksworth and Rebecca Murphey.

Mark Boulton runs a little design studio and has a lot of experience with very demanding websites. He is interested in the intersection between front-end and design. How can you easily apply design for developers? Wednesday before the conference, Mark also gives a workshop.

Peter Nederlof is a front-end developer pur sang and always busy with the latest techniques, whether it is a 3D engine in canvas or a CSS matrix generator. Finally we convinced him to enter the Tuschinski stage.

Alex Graul has specialized in data visualisation. How do you communicate data while keeping it interesting? Alex is also co-developer of Miso, "an open source toolkit designed to expedite the creation of high-quality interactive storytelling and data visualisation content".

Bram Duvigneau, Bor Verkroost and Antoine Hegeman,all user experts on the (in)accessibility of the web, will be giving practical examples of the pitfalls they encounter on the web during our Accessibility panel. In other words: this year no presentation about how the web should be in theory, but how it is, right now. The panel is moderated by Chris Heilmann.

Ticket sales for fronteers 2012 have closed, but we've managed to scrounge up a few more tickets. On September 22nd, roughly precisely around 12:00 CET we will sell the last ten tickets. So be quick.

And whether you come to the conference or not, there are still tickets available for the workshop Visual Design 101 for Web Developers by Mark Boulton. All basics of a good design are covered. More information and ticket sales. This way you can also get access to the conference.

We still have a month to go and a lot of preparations to make, but we're looking forward to it!
