Report on Web Standards Days in Kiev. Now officially

Less than ten days, as we publish the official report on the meeting of Web Standards Days, held in Kiev on September 18th. As it usually happens, the final program was very different from the one stated earlier - but only towards its improvement. At the meeting, six presentations were made:

• Web standards in a large project: what helps and what hinders. Andrei Sumin, PDF 138 KB ;
• About interface design and a little about Adobe Fireworks. Vadim Patsev, PDF 1.2 MB ;
• Web in curves. The second birth of SVG. Vadim Makeev, HTML 15.6 MB ;
• Introduction to Web Performance: W3C, Webkit, IE9 and the Future. Nikolay Macievsky, PDF 4.1 MB ;
• Web application development. Sightseeing tour. Vitaly Fishing;
• Browse new javascript APIs. HTML5 and W3C stand-alone drafts. Anton Nemtsev, HTML 750 KB .

... and the order of their following was drawn up on the fly as the speakers appeared, which added some dynamics and surprises to our already boring program.
