Notes of the inaugural Scottish web conference organised by Alan White

An early start from Brighton to attend a conference in Edinburgh, with an interesting title. As Edinburgh is not in the highlands, but perhaps a great subtitle of progressive enhancement to attract us southerners to make the trip across the borders.

Fellow web developer/programmer Glenn Jones is presenting a session on microformats, and Patrick Lauke is their on behalf of web standards.
