## Source excerpt

About a week ago, I was in Warsaw, Poland to give my first talk at a big conference, Front Trends 2010. As every first-time speaker, I was extremely nervous and worried that everything would go bad. That my talk would be boring or too basic or that I would just freeze at stage, unable to say a word. It was a 2-hour talk with a break in between, so I was also terrified that nobody would show up the second hour. Contrary to my fears and insecurities, it went better than I could have ever hoped.

I can't thank you enough Christian! Many attendees asked me for my slides and presentation framework. You can find my slides online here or download them. However, before you follow those links, read below: I originally ran my presentation in Firefox 4 beta so I was testing mainly in that and Minefield (Firefox's nightly releases). It supports other browsers too (Chrome 7, Opera 10.6+), but it still displays better in Firefox or Minefield and is (surprisingly) faster in them. Opera has issues with a few unicode characters I used in some places and won't display Helvetica Neue even if it's installed (@font-face is not an option with that font, for legal reasons) Any non-Gecko browser will not display CSS gradients, since Gecko is the only engine so far that supports the standard syntax. Therefore the gradient demos and the multiple backgrounds demo won't work in non-Gecko browsers. Some slides are a bit slow on Webkit. The first slide is ex
