Here in Web Communications, we’ve been playing with Git as a means to manage versions of our sites.  So far, that has been limited to using Git on the local machine, making a remote repository on a shared file space (doit-bfs1), pushing to it occasionally, and then manually transferring the files back over to VH. What we’ve REALLY been wanting to do though is use it to fully manage our sites, allow anyone to work on the site while keeping track of the versions AND publish out to VH, all automatically. We also didnt want to have to store the Git repository in the webroot.

A lot has changed with web typography. We are no longer forced to use a handful of “web safe” fonts or complicated image replacement tricks in order to set beautiful type. This presentation goes over how to learn about type, how properly markup type and how to style it.

In this presentation, we cover Responsive Web Design, going from a basic overview of the concept to common design patterns and pitfalls. This was presented at the April 24, 2012 Web Developers Group Meeting.
