Why variable fonts is the greatest thing since David Hasselhof's megahit True Survivor

If you've heard the song True Survivor you might think that nothing can compare to this synthwave masterpiece, but I'm here to tell you that variable fonts can and do! What are they? How do I use them? What impact do they have on you as a developer, as a designer? What do they mean for the future of web typography? All this will be revealed, and you will be made ready to leap into the typographical future of the Internet!

First delivered at the internal conference SqueedBrew Tech, also at several local meetups in Gothenburg. Target audience is web developers and web designers, beginner level or up.

Web Components: an Introduction to the Future

With Web Components having reached high enough browser support to be production ready, it is high time to take a look at what they are and what they can do for you. In this talk you will learn how to create a web component using the native browser api:s. You will learn about the advantages of the technology, how it affects developers, designers, and end-users. You will also see how easy it is to integrate it with existing frontend frameworks.

The target audience is people who have at least some experience with JavaScript and web development, but who are new to web components.

I can, on request, demonstrate the integration of web components in a specific framework of choice (eg. React, Vue, Svelte etc.).

How to create the best website in the world

Gone are the wild days of the 90's web, where individualty and creativity reigned supreme.

On the contrary, they are back, and better than ever! In this talk you will learn how easily you can set up a dynamic and manageable website with static site generator Eleventy and hosting service Netlify, for yourself, your cat, your project, or your workplace.
