A few weeks ago I had the priv­i­lege of pre­sent­ing (vir­tu­ally) to the New Zealand Cold­Fu­sion User Group on CSS and web stan­dards. David Har­ris runs the meet­ings with both phys­i­cal atten­dees in Auck­land and vir­tual atten­dees through Adobe Connect.

The record­ing of that pre­sen­ta­tion (with slides) is now avail­able. It sounds a lit­tle scratchy, unfor­tu­nately — no doubt a com­bi­na­tion of my not-great head­set and the extreme dis­tance. The pre­sen­ta­tion cov­ers how, as a Cold­Fu­sion devel­oper, I came to be involved in web stan­dards, what the term actu­ally means, why I think they are impor­tant and why I think web stan­dards could be more of inter­est to back end devel­op­ers then they per­haps realise. I also include a cou­ple of basic examples.
