An evening with three talks ...

Your obstacles are yours to remove
Software is magic. Besides the speed of light there are few limitations on what can be achieved. You can make a change and reap the benefits seconds after, world wide. Few other disciplines have this agility and speed.
During my years as a consultant I have seen quite a few obstacles at both large and small companies. Obstacles that slow you down and lead to missed opportunities. What they all share is that they do not have to be obstacles, you and your organization are in control.
In this talk I will present a variety of imaginary obstacles and what you can do about them.

Make internationalisation easier with CSS logical properties!
Providing internationalisation to websites can be challenging, what if it could be like flipping a switch?

What if we could add a product to a new market without having to provide any more code?
In this presentation I will talk about CSS logical properties, how they work and how you apply them.
