Craftmanship and Code

September 15, 2010

So I’ll be talking next week at my local Refresh group. I decided to do a talk on ethics and professionalism when it comes to being a web designer/developer.

I’ll also get into showing some code. Going from abstract stuff like ethics all the way to putting some CSS on the screen will be a bit of a challenge. At any rate, in addition to some thoughts about what makes some a professional, I came up with the following list of things that are common to design front end development:

  • Aesthetics
  • Functionality
  • Meaning
  • Simplicity
  • Elegance

These are all things that I try to keep in mind when I’m designing and also with my HTML and CSS.
