I think that what Andy showed us was inspiring and I hope every designer and developer in that room was encouraged and excited by the possibilities. However my take is that an approach that attempts to recreate that experience at least for all modern desktop browser users is a requirement for most of us.

— Pragmatic as ever, Rachel Andrew challenges some of my hardboiled approaches. A very good read.

As Eric Meyer has written in the past, JavaScript will save us all.

Someone needs to code up a js lib that will read your css and implement your transitions in JS where unavailable.

Thomas Fuchs seems like the guy to do this, since his scripty2 already uses css-transitions to perform some animations. But as I have told him recently, we want to write them in CSS… JavaScript should grab them and just make it work.

It’s an approach that all of us would like to take with clients.

There are some cases where you become the agency that is hired to implement a website solution based on an overall corporate redesign/rebranding done by another Design agency.

In these cases you have to work off the designs already presented to the client.

Hoping you’ve covered this in your Hard Boiled book.
