Tonights Presentation

• Bulletproof Web Design
• Mark Watson will be giving a presentation and
  moderating a discussion of topics based on Dan
  Cederholm's book "Bulletproof Web Design".
• This presentation will be providing examples and
  introducing discussion of many topics such as
  flexible text, scalable navigation, expandable
  rows, creative floating, indestructible boxes, no
  images no css, convertible tables, fluid
  layouts, and more.
• This presentation will cover more of the "nuts
  and bolts" of web design at an intermediate/advanc
  ed level (aka "Level 200/300") rather than at the
  introductory or conceptual level.
