  Sustainable Web Design 

  It’s easy to think that sustainability is only a concern in the material world.

  Here’s an interesting perspective.

  Sustainable Web Design

  Sustainable Web Design

  by James Christie September 24, 2013 Published in Application Development, State of the Web ∙

  A growing number of industries are trying to reduce or at least curtail carbon footprints and energy use. Emissions standards have been set for the automotive, construction, and even telecommunications industries. Yet the internet’s carbon footprint is growing out of control: a whopping 830 million tons of CO₂ annually, which is bigger than that of the entire aviation industry. That amount is set to double by 2020.

  It is time for web designers to join the cause.

  Vancouver HTML5 Gaming Workshop & a Yeti Sunday May 26, 2013 

  Vancouver HTML5 Gaming Workshop & a Yeti

  This workshop is presented by Vancouver Polyglot {Un}conference, Startup Weekend Vancouver and Microsoft Canada!

  With advances brought to us by HTML5, modern browsers and free libraries like CreateJS, we can create games and rich interactive experiences more easily than before. In this workshop, we will show how you can use HTML5 to build games and interactive experiences today (with plenty of demos to pull apart). Then we will show how you can take those HTML5 games and migrate them to Windows 8 to take advantage of monetization opportunities with over 60 million potential users.

  You do not have to have deep experience with either HTML5 or Windows 8 but a fundamental knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript will be helpful. Although, you will need Windows 8 and the Visual Studio Express for Windows 8 to take advantage of the hands-on time.
