JavaScript Workshop » Refresh06 Web Conference

Last month I attended my first web conference, Refresh06 in sunny Orlando Florida.  It was the first of its kind for the area and organized by the Refresh Cities community.  The three day conference had some big names in the web design community such as Andy Budd, Cameron Moll, Jeremy Keith and more.

Many topics were discussed and since the conference was small (75 people) it allowed everybody to 'hang out' afterward and talk to many of the presenters in a relaxing atmosphere. Here are some of the topics and presentations (.pdf) that were given:

Pragmatic Web Design - Paul Boag
How to be a Web Design Superhero - Andy Budd
Creating Accessible DHTML - Nate Koechley
Social Participation - Paul Boag
