Andy Clarke in Newcastle

Posted by: Rob Lavender on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

Andy Clarke"Andy Clarke is hip and mature. You almost never get both. He is a seasoned brand steward, a fancy pixel wrangler, and no mean hand at code. A triple talent. The bastard." — Jeffrey Zeldman

This really says it all about Andy Clarke, and from non other than the God Father of web standards Jeffery Zeldman.

At the end of October Andy Clarke will be in Newcastle, and if you want to find out the latest techniques in web design and front end development then his master class in 'Advanced CSS Styling' will be money well spent.

Find out more at the website forabeautifulweb.com

Even if you can't make it to the course Andy will be having a pint afterwards and invites everyone to pop down to say hello. Details can be found on http://forabeautifulweb.com/announcing/newcastle_upon_tyne_2009/

Also, his blog on the forabeautifulweb.com web site is well worth a read. You'll pick up lots of helpful tips and tricks from his detailed explaination about redesigning the new Canny Bill website.

Canny Bill are sponsering Andy's master classes and probably the reason that he is plying his trade North of London. Canny Bill is a new product by Newcastle based developers DPI Vision.

This is invaluable stuff. Far from just selecting view>source and finding out how Andy crafts his code here we get a detailed insight into his thought process and working practice from design to implementation.

Far from just capitlising on his knowledge of web design on the speaker circuit Andy is at the top of his game and still climbing. He's forging the way in CSS and HTML5 web development and I for one want to go along for the ride.
