This afternoon I am sitting in a workshop with Andy Clarke, author of Transcending CSS.

Mentioned:

• Ryan Carson, UK
• Jeffery Zeldman, Happy Cog
• Eric Meyer, Complex Spiral
• Jason Santa Maria, Happy Cog
• Dave Shea, Mezzoblue.com
• Steven Champeon, hesketh.com
• Nate Koechley, Yahoo
  
• Microformats: Hcard

Intermission: had a cigarette with Andy, whose son apparently uses Bebo and not Facebook or MySpace.

Why would you use div[id="content_main"] instead of div#content_main?
To enable branching from older browsers to newer browsers. Exactly which browsers belong in which branch?

Getting into Specificity, apparently only a few of the designers in the room actually know what it is and how it works. This is an interview question that I use to test designers applying to Bebo.

Specificity Wars

Using Attribute sub-string selectors to generate content:

• E[foo~="bar"]
• E[foo^="bar"]
• E[foo$="bar"]
• E[foo*="bar"]

Pseudo elements and classes:

• li:last-child {}
• p:first-line {}

and on...
