It is official now, the CSS Workinggroup dropped the 3 out of CSS3.
CSS is not just one product, it is a collection of separate modules which can live independent from each other.
Therefore new modules can be added without creating a new CSS version.
So the time has come to drop the 3 and just talk about CSS. If you want to have an overview of all CSS features click on the CSS WG link here.

First of all, I had a great time on MultiMania and met a lot of great people over there. People from different worlds. Every day I work mainly in a Microsoft world, developing websites with ASP.NET MVC but I’m also busy in HTML5, CSS3 and the combination is something that I love.
But on MultiMania I had the chance to talk to Adobe people, Game creators, … Some talks were inspirational, other ones were technical and that what it’s all about isn’t it!
On MultiManie Dieter and I gave a presentation on Win8 development and how you can use your existing web skills to build Metro applications.
In case you’ve missed it, here are the slides: http://www.slideshare.net/kevinderudder/every-web-developer-is-a-win8-developer
On 21 and 22 of may multi-mania takes place in Kortrijk. Like every year you will be able to follow various of workshops on day 1 and a number of sessions on day 2.
Now, hang on, the best part of it all is: IT’S FREE, NADA, NOTHING, so you don’t have any excuse to stay away.
On day 1: I will be your host together with Dieter De Preester and Frederik Duchi on building metro style applications with HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.
Learn how you can use your web skills to build Windows 8 Metro style apps using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. In this session you’ll discover how to harness the rich capabilities of Windows 8 through JavaScript and the Windows Runtime.
You will learn about navigation, user experience patterns and controls and the seamless integration with the operating system that will let you create great Metro style apps.
On day 2: Dieter and I will show you that every Web Developer is a Win 8 Developer
HTML5 is a first class citizen inside the windows 8 eco system. In this session you will learn how to create windows 8 metro style applications using HTML5, JavaScript and CSS3.
Off course, you’ll have a bunch of other sessions where you can take a look at. If you are interested in more win 8, join Katrien De Graeve and meet her at the metro.
Metro is the name of the Design Language for applications in Windows 8. Join us for a ride on the key principles behind Metro Design, the inspiration and some great examples as we move into the future with Windows 8 Metro Style Apps.

So I, or we really hope to see you there during the sessions or afterwards at the bar.
Maybe stupid, maybe handy, maybe awesome. I don’t know if you already this one, I did but I saw a few people struggling with it.
How do you capitalize the first letter of a paragraph or li or whatever…
Very simple:
li:first-letter
{
text-transform: capitalize;
}
there you go, think of something like tip of the day
So here are my slides and demos from my Live session at Microsoft. Hope you found it interesting and may it be useful in your web applications.
For those who didn’t follow the session. We changed the existing ASP.NET MVC Music Store site, so that it would be available on a mobile phone as well.
The video will be online in a few days on Channel9.

Next week, i will be giving a session on CSS Media Queries at Microsoft. While I was making the slides I was thinking about some demos.
One of the things I will be showing is how you can change the ASP.NET MVC Music Store css so that it would render nicely on a mobile device.
This is a screen shot of what I will do, just to make you hungry for more. On the left, you see the normal desktop version, on the right is the mobile version:
so, tune in for the Media Queries Live session.
As promised, here is a link to the session that I gave at the Microsoft S2B day at techdays.
