Featured Speaker
Christopher Schmitt
The open web doesn’t stop at our desktop. Smart phones and tablets not only contain more computing power and better browsers than the computers that started the Internet economy, they have better displays.
In his session on “Adaptive Images for Responsive Web Design,” Christopher Schmitt will work through tips and tricks to develop future friendly images in our sites and apps:
- Icon fonts with breeze and accessibility
- Setting up Mobile icons and bookmarks
- Using SVG to streamline performance
- The fall and rise of JPEG image format
…and much more!

Christopher directs Heatvision.com, Inc., a small new media publishing and design firm. The author of several books, including CSS Cookbook and Photoshop in 10 Simple Steps or Less, Schmitt is also a contributor to many web development magazines.
