You’ve read the book, now see the event: An Event Apart presents Hardboiled Web Design with Andy Clarke. This full-day workshop will challenge you, change your approach to web design, and give you the tools you need to make CSS3 and HTML5 a reality for your company and clients.

“Hardboiled Web Design” offers a fresh perspective on designing for the web—never compromising, always pushing boundaries. It strips markup to the bone and uses HTML5 and CSS3 to the maximum, to help make your sites more adaptable to whatever the web might throw at them. Based on the highly acclaimed, best-selling new book, Hardboiled Web Design by Andy Clarke.
