O’Reilly Velocity Conference – Santa Clara

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.
This year Velocity is broadening its scope to business:
You'll still find plenty of hard-core web operations and performance sessions at the conference. But the web-centric innovation sparked by the Velocity community has forever changed business-as-usual. So we're broadening the scope of Velocity in Santa Clara to include the essentials of "Building a faster, stronger business."
So now O'Reilly is adding another oft-ignored facet of development to Velocity: business. There's no other conference like it.

As more devices emerge and differences in device interaction are implemented, the more important good CSS code will become. In order to write good CSS, we need some indicator about device capabilities. We've used CSS media queries thus far, with checks for max-width and pixel ratios.
