I was asked to speak recently at Web Directions Government in Canberra. The topic I chose to speak about was Real World Web Standards where I discussed my past experience with larger projects at my ex-employer News Digital Media.

I had done this presentation before at a smaller conference last year but I decided to put a bit more work into it as I wasn’t quite happy with the delivery last time. Less preaching and more realistic solutions was my goal, so hopefully this message came through with my second edition.

Soon enough, I will fix this slideshow up (there seems to be some slides converting strangely) and will create a slidecast once I get the podcast has been published of the presentation.

Thanks to the Canberra crowd for making the event an interesting one. It was great hearing some of the presentations from the government crowd as they deal with a whole separate set of issues from those of us in the private sector, many of which sound quite painful indeed.

It was great to have a mini Web Directions hit before the bigger and badder Web Directions South later this year. Looking forward to hearing the speaker line-up in the next few weeks!
