- A modern approach to browser support | Clearleft clearleft.com
We wanted a browser support policy that would focus on outcomes for the user. Rather than being fixated on specific browsers, we needed to consider capabilities, using the mindset that sees modern coding use feature detection in preference to browser detection. It turns out there’s an initiative for that.

"We used this as an opportunity to really push what Dan has been calling "progressive enrichment": sprinkling in some modern CSS declarations even if not every browser gets all of them [...] So if you view the UX London site in IE6 it looks fine. Nothing special though. But if you view the site in a browser like Safari, a lot of little details shine through. The design is pretty much a test-case for the box-shadow property using RGBa."

Looks great, but £895 sounds rather steep, even for 3 days (conference plus workshops) . Doesn't look like it's possible to pay less and just attend conference day. Definitely aimed at corporate types, not that there's anything wrong with that.
I ran a few tests on coworkers this morning using the application and was simply blown away by its ease of use and useful features.
"Get a handy little iPhone or iPod Touch version of any website." Genius. Makes me wish I had an iPhone.
"Clearleft lead designer Paul Annett explains how he used the effect to great success on their newly launched Silverback site." More like this, please. Time to start creating effects that look great in good browsers and fall back in IE.

Lovely parallax effect when resizing browser.
