In this episode of WordPress Weekly, Marcus Couch and I are joined by Eric Meyer. Meyer is an American web design consultant and author. He is best known for his advocacy work on behalf of web standards, most notably Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which is a technique for managing how HTML is displayed.
We start off the show by discussing the technology of the 70s and 80s and how Meyer got involved with the CSS language. We then go in-depth on a number of topics covered in his WordCamp Northeast Ohio keynote presentation on Designing for Real Life. Near the end of the interview, we find out what the state of CSS is and some of the key developments to keep an eye on.
