Vasilis van Gemert
Whenever we start a new design we often return to old habits: page structure is the same as ever (with a header, footer, aside and navigation), we still assume everybody has a mouse and the desktop is still leading. In this talk Vasilis will look at some new defaults that have emerged the last few years. He'll show some design patterns and some approaches for interaction, functionality and content that better suit the needs of the current and future web.
