What Should a 4-Year Old Know? ⇾

If you have children, this link and commentary from Christian Ross is spot on and a great reminder of what we parents should know. And cultivate in our homes.

I Code in Tables ⇾

Christian Ross has a confession: he codes in tables.

First off, let’s get this out of the way, clients don’t care. If it shows up well on their screen and is close in all of the major browsers, they’re happy. It doesn’t matter to them if their site can pass the W3C Validator.

Of course, not always. Only if the circumstances dictate that this is the best approach for his clients.

And yet, he’s worried that including this work in his portfolio has potentially lost him some work. One only has to look at the excellent design of his personal site to know that he has talent. If that is the case, I’d say he’s better off not having got the jobs — an employer that is not willing to dig a little probably would not be all that enjoyable to work for.

Note and Point ⇾

adii:

Note and Point is a really cool resource for anyone that has to design some presentation slides, as their library includes some awesome examples of really well-designed slides. Also happy to add that my recent slides for “The Designer Startup” got added over here.

I’ll echo this recommendation. I’ve been saving a lot of slide decks over the past few months, thanks to Christian Ross and Dave Ruiz, the crew behind Note and Point.
