Companies waste fortunes seeking a magic bullet for Search Engine Optimization. But the keys to honest, effective web findability are appropriate writing and semantic markup. Aarron Walter’s wonderfully lucid and informative book tells everything you need to know to get your web content (or your client’s) in front of as many appreciative readers as possible.

10 Jan . 2008

An Event Apart is a brilliantly inspiring conference series crafted by Jeffrey Zeldman and Eric Meyer that provides attendees with a deeper understanding of web standards and emerging best practices in web design and development. They’ve recently published the schedule and list of speakers for 2008, and I’m happy to say I’ll be sharing the stage with Zeldman, Meyer, and a host of Web luminaries in New Orleans.

An Event Apart New Orleans will be held at the posh Hilton Riverside April 24 - 25. The list of speakers and topics covered is fantastic:

  • Andy Clarke, author of Transcending CSS, presenting “Underpants Over My Trousers”

    Hey Aarron! I drop by your site every now and then to see what’s new, and i see you’ve got some upcoming speaking gigs! Congrats! I’m out in Boulder, CO now running my software company. We’ve grown considerably in the past year, and are anticipating another good one! See… all your good teachings are paying off! =)

  4. Aarron Says:

    Great to hear from you, Aaron. Your app looks amazing, but it comes as no surprise to me. Glad to hear you are doing well and pursuing your entrepreneurial interests. Let me know if you’re heading to SXSW. Maybe we can catch up over a beer.

  5. Erica Ware Says:

    Congrats Aarron! I’m really proud of you and very happy for you. Also, I will be picking up the book on Day 1.

    That is fantastic! Congratulations! I am so glad you were my professor and that I know you. Heck, I want to be you! I’d love to attend one of your speaking engagements, but not sure if I can right now. I’ll be sure to pick up the book.

  8. Marlyse Comte Says:

    Looks like a great event! What a pity that joining is not possible. But lucky enough books are in the makes… for us ‘left behind’. :-)

    Wishing you much success with your speech.
