Embrace the flexibility that's made possible with XHTML and CSS while
creating compelling designs. Prepare your designs for worst-case scenarios,
increased user control and readability for varying text sizes and amounts of
content. Dan Cederholm will attempt to help you "let go of pixel precision",
while explaining the importance of lean markup, flexible CSS and planning
for the unknown.

Dan Cederholm is a web designer and author living in Salem, Massachusetts.
He's the founder of SimpleBits, a tiny web design studio.

A recognized expert in the field of standards-based web design, Dan has
worked with Google, Fast Company, Inc.com, ESPN, Blogger, Odeo, and others.
With each new project comes an opportunity to minimize markup and embrace
the flexibility of CSS.

Dan is the author of two popular books: Bulletproof Web Design (New Riders, 
2005) and Web Standards Solutions (friends of ED/Apress, 2004). Dan also
runs the popular weblog SimpleBits, where he writes articles and commentary
on the web, technology and life.

Dan enjoys sharing his simplistic approach to web design, while spreading
the word on the standards-based markup and style techniques he's collected.

He also plays in a competitive dodge ball league, occasionally wears a
baseball cap, and plays a mean ukulele.


Hopefully Dan can play "I'll Follow the Sun" after the seminar!
