Web Standards & Techniques: Why Should I Care?

You have lived through the ‘Browser Wars’, fought off the bugs in multiple versions of IE, tried to support antiques when people won’t or can’t upgrade their browser for any number of reasons. WHY? What causes this problem and how do we solve it? The answer is: Web Standards. This presentation will give a short history of what we have lived through, why web standards are the solution, what are the current standards and what they accomplish for us. Warning: In this politcal time-frame, this is likely to be a stump speech of web-politics, with Web Standards as the candidate!
