CSS Is going to get random!
English session - Beginner
CSS is getting a random() function, opening up a very wide range of new applications that can be done performantly in CSS, from adding randomness to animations big and small to setting discrete values.
This talk takes a look at both the creative visuals and practical applications that random in CSS enables you, as well as how it compares to its JS counterpart.
Solving user permission prompts with HTML
English session - Beginner
Browsers give you exactly one chance to ask a user for permission to do something. If the user declines, the only way to give access to the camera, microphone or geolocation again is hidden deep in the browser's settings (i.e. it's not gonna happen).
Once again, HTML comes to the rescue of JS. A new set of HTML elements let users give explicit permission, right from the page. We'll explore their features, their restrictions and how to use them
The art of interrupting: notifications, toasts and dialogs
English session - Intermediate
Toasts, popups, confirmation dialogs, and live regions are part of every app and most websites. But toasts disappear too fast, dialogs steal focus at the wrong moment, and live regions might be talking your users' ears off. So how do you decide which interruption, is the right one?
This talk is a practical walk-through for every kind of user notification, when (not) to use which pattern and how to implement them properly.
