Advanced HTML for Good Developers
HTML is not just the foundation we build on, it's vital in making our websites accessible, usable and performant.
We'll explore how we can make the most of our HTML elements and attributes to improve the performance and accessibility of our website and applications as well as boosting the efficiency of our development process.
All by using a technology we are already use day to day, but just using it better than we were before. At the end of the talk you'll be able to make things more useful and useable, not just for performance and accessibility but for our users and different technologies, likes bots, applications and AI as well.
