Hi! My name is Manuel and I’m a front end developer from Vienna. I’m a freelancer and especially interested in accessibility, performance and web standards in general.
Some new features in CSS only show their real potential when we radically break with old habits. Doing that on an existing website is almost impossible. That’s why Manuel built a new project from scratch with modern CSS and questioned every line of code he wrote.
In this talk, he presents what he has learned and encourages you to review your best practices.
