O'Reilly Velocity Conference - New York

My favorite front-end conference has always been O'Reilly's Velocity Conference because the conference series has focused on one of the most undervalued parts of client side coding:  speed.  So often we're so excited that our JavaScript works that we forget that speed, efficiency, and performance are just as important.

The next Velocity event is coming up in New York, October 12-14.  The best code speed conference is coming to one of the best cities in the world.  Exciting stuff but what's better than an early registration and David Walsh Blog discount?!

    Pure CSS Slide Up and Slide Down

    If I can avoid using JavaScript for element animations, I'm incredibly happy and driven to do so.  They're more efficient, don't require a JavaScript framework to manage steps, and they're more elegant.  One effect that is difficult to nail down with pure CSS is sliding up...
