Get the core right and the resilient code will follow

I delivered my talk for the last time at beyond tellerrand last week, so I thought I’d just mark it on my blog.

I did it first at ffconf in response to a chat Remy and I had, so it’s only right that the video comes from there.

Here’s my favourite image captured, from beyond tellerrand.

It’s been an absolute pleasure to tour this talk. Thanks so all the conferences and meet-ups who invited me to share it with their audiences. You’re the best. A special thanks to Remy for encouraging me to write it in the first place and deliver it at their legendary event.

The talk is based on three lessons of Complete CSS (which you can enjoy for free):

• The art of concise, effective communication
• Giving and receiving feedback
• Move slowly and methodically to go fast

I was writing all of this material at the same time last year because I was truly obsessed. I’ve been doing this CSS thing for a long time now — nearly 20 years — and getting good at core skills far exceeds everything else. Let me show you how with this material.

Hope you enjoy the talk!
