Notes from the Python SIG, 25-Feb-2010: Introduction to CSS

[Ted Roche]

Six people braved miserably wet weather to attend the February meeting 
of the Python Special Interest Group, held as usual on the fourth 
Thursday of the month at the Amoskeag Business Incubator.

We had a brief set of introductions and announcements of upcoming 
meetings. We hope to host a discussion of PyCon 2010 presentations by 
PySIG members next month; details to be worked out, stay tuned.

I've seen this presentation seven times and I think this was the best. 
Along with the Introduction to CSS, I added a "sneak peek" preview of 
HTML5 and CSS3 and discussed the support (finally!) for CSS 2.1 in 
Internet Explorer 8 and how that meant the leading browsers all had 
support for some intriguing features as outlined in the SitePoint book, 
"Everything You Know About CSS is Wrong!" There was lots of give and 
take with the audience, and a few side trips off-script to cover an 
issue someone wanted to know more about, and a war story or two. Ben 
Scott was heckled in abstentia.

Thanks to Bill for arranging and promoting the meeting, to the Amoskeag 
Business Incubator for the fine facilities, to Laura and the Hopkinton 
High girls basketball team fundraiser for the M&M cookies, and to all 
who attended and participated.
