The future is in reach with Modernizr
The Web is undergoing many changes on both a platform and a technological level. Developers are gaining access to more exciting features than they can keep up with, but the explosive growth in diversity of the browser landscape has made supporting users more difficult and complicated than ever. Or has it?
Modernizr arrived two years ago to show us a different approach, one that is more in line with “mobile first” (or “content first,” really) and, later on, responsive web design. The recent version 2.0 release saw Modernizr taking the next step towards being the foundation of a more progressive, flexible Web. Learn all about wielding Modernizr's power to great effect, and why it makes the future of web development in reach, today.

How do we know if the waitlist moved?
Approximately by the number on the waitlst going down/up. It's gone down by about 20 since last night.
At 6:30p, if the event has not filled to capacity, we'll start admitting those from the waiting list. Registration closes at 7p. Thanks!
More good hacks for js yiha!
Usual question: will it be streamed live?
There's a BART delay from earlier power outage...a few of us might be late
Sorry to miss tonight, will this be recorded and posted?
We're not streaming, but we will record it and send out a message to the group when it's up
Event is being recorded & will be available on http://marakana.c...
Due to the BART delay, we will keep registration open until 7:15.
For some reason, only about once a minute for about 2 words long, is the first speaker amplified.
I was told by a friend that I won a conference ticket, too lame the wait list didn't move for me to be there to pick it up... Sigh
Apologies for the lack of proper veggie options. They were part of the order, but we unfortunately did not receive them from the catering service.
will the video be posted soon for those of us who couldn't attend? [thanks]
Video incoming! There have been some technical delays. Stay tuned.
