Let's Launch A Website, Right Friggin' Now!

Making a website can be a complicated process involving months of time and conflicting opinions from dozens of stakeholders. But it doesn't have to be!

Using Vue, Pug and Sass as his languages, Lemon's going to show you a methodology for getting sites launched quickly and cheaply. Because large scale business-focused websites are a great way to get paid, but making specific sites with a tight scope is a good way to have fun.

I'm Going To Make You Stop Hating CSS.

As a formalized language, CSS is over 20 years old and has spent much of that time being maligned by the people who use it. Browser inconsistencies, changing specifications and general weirdness have combined to create this weird pseudo-language that you'd rather avoid.

UNTIL TODAY. With modern specs and tooling, CSS has never been more straightforward and less reliant on hacks. In this talk, Lemon will show you some common traps people fall in, as well as some general strategies for making a layout grid you can proud to build and confident in releasing.

This is a conference talk aimed primarily at web professionals who've experienced CSS (or Sass or Less) in the past but who never really "got" it. It's about modern standards really removing a lot of the weirdness that CSS has been famous for.

CMS Speed Dating

Your content needs you, but you've got a problem: you've been by yourself for so long. Other than that regrettable encounter with SharePoint, it's been just you and your HTML for years. Sure, content management systems SAY they're fun and easy, but you've heard they have commitment issues. Could there really be a CMS out there who understands you?

In this fast-paced conference talk, Lemon's going to introduce you to some CMS you may have never met before. Let's compare Wordpress and SiteCore with Kirby and Cockpit. Let's have a honest talk about Decoupled vs Headless. With so many options and so many personalities, maybe you can find your match for life, or maybe just a match for now.

The goal of this talk is to present different CMS in a fun and interesting way: Present characters through the medium of dating profiles as a way to introduce different competing concepts.
