Sladjana: | | Because there really are no borders. Not in this profession. We're all designers. And the speakers- |
Danilo: | | From the U.S.. From England, the U.K. |
Sladjana: | | And Germany. |
Danilo: | | Right. Freiburg. Where, you know, Smashing's from. |
Sladjana: | | And the people. |
Danilo: | | Big names. In the business. Internet celebrities. I love speakers that motivate me. I have breakthroughs. |
Sladjana: | | They really weren't big shots at all. They were like us. They were celebrities by default. As if somebody put them up there and said speak. |
Danilo: | | I wish there'd been more time, though, between speakers. |
Sladjana: | | It was hard to get to know people. Time was really impacted. |
Danilo: | | There was a party, though. Refreshments, you know. Drinks. |
Sladjana: | | And we had time out. There were all these little canals that ran through the city. Along the sidewalk. |
Danilo: | | I saw somebody with a toy boat, but I thought-. |
Sladjana: | | It was mountain water. |
Danilo: | | I just don't know why they didn't build canals to go around the city. |
Sladjana: | | And to me, more than the speakers, were the presentations themselves. Not abstract instructions about A to B, but there's this woman, she says she's going to do something, and she does it, and you're watching how this person thinks. |
Danilo: | | And every speaker was different, so you walk away with all these unique perspectives. |
Sladjana: | | But something everyone agreed on- |
Danilo: | | Right. Issues of…responsiveness. |
Sladjana: | | Progressive enhancement. |
Danilo: | | Websites that work on all platforms. |
Sladjana: | | Progressively for every platform. |
Danilo: | | Which really relates everyday life to the Web. |
Sladjana: | | We all want to make something work, and see how people respond. |
Danilo: | | Exactly. |
