October 26th – 27th, 2012
Paris, France
Au cours de cet événement, vous apprendrez comment lire des spécifications web et comment tester le niveau de support de ces spécifications par les différents navigateurs. Vous apprendrez aussi, et surtout, à coder des tests robustes avec les auteurs de différents standards du web, pour vous assurer que tous les navigateurs mettent en oeuvre correctement ces fonctionnalités. Au final, vous bénéficierez d'une meilleure compréhension du fonctionnement interne d'un navigateur web et maîtriserez l'écriture de tests clairs et robustes.
Nous nous attendons à ce que vous sachiez coder manuellement en HTML, CSS et JavaScript, mais il y aura aussi des experts d'Adobe, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Opéra et du W3C pour vous accompagner et vous guider à chaque étape de création de tests. Nous serons tous présents pour faire progresser le web. Nourriture, boissons et musique seront fournis pour passer un moment unique avec les experts du web.
Test the Web Forward brings you closer to the very specifications that you use to craft web experiences and has you discover how you can shape the future of the web.
Over the course of the event, not only will you learn to understand how to read specifications and understand the state of support among different browsers, but you will also create robust tests along with the editors of various standards to ensure browsers implement these features consistently. At the end of it, you will gain a deeper understanding of browser internals & how you can write clear, robust tests.
We do expect you to be capable of hand-coding in HTML, CSS, & JavaScript, but there will be experts from Adobe, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera, the W3C, as well as independent developers to guide you step-by-step to create tests that can help move the web forward. Food, drinks & music will be provided.
Note: We will be recording the event. If you would like to be excluded from appearing in the video, please contact testthewebforward@gmail.com.
