I just found out today that if we get our company website launched by Wednesday, our company is going to send myself and the other Front-End Developers to An Event Apart Chicago, so that’s pretty awesome. Just a few links from this week:

I definitely agree with what Kenny has to say. I feel like there was this huge push for standards a few years ago, and it has really started to slow down. We should not be satisfied! There is still so much more to do.
