nice

I really like the from-the-inside-out idea of designing pages. It might sound silly, but having someone tell you "the overall layout isn't the priority" does actually help once in a while. ;)

Also, the CSS/JS naming convention was a good tip.

Thanks!

Definitely going to buy the books he recommend ... I keep pondering his 'little' points throughout the presentation. Notes are here for those w/o time to review the 40 minute go:

Great!

super good info. this rocks.

Ryan, this is a very nice presentation! I've been following your excellent design and writing work at 37 for years. Your clearly and articulately break down the design process and present easy to follow rules for focused design. I'm sending all my programming friends to go watch this now...

I'm very interested in how you balance using a framework that makes things easier, but gives you the flexibility to be creative and break patterns like wrapping a lot of html in helpers. I've struggled with that in PHP for a while and have yet to find something that's fast. I'm always re-inventing the wheel.

@typenerd, I've heard codeigniter works well for MVC in php
