I was really impressed with the new speakers that I didn’t have the chance to hear from last year, including Rob Weychert, Cameron Moll, and Jeff Veen.  This day was even more focused on design and theory, rather than actual code.  I will admit, I am always a fan of some hardcore coding demonstrations, but I do need to learn more about the design concepts and theory.  This session didn’t disappoint.

The first day of An Event Apart Chicago is in the books.  Think Jeffery Zeldman, Eric Meyer, and Dan Cederholm.  As I headed home from the first day, making the tough choice to bypass the opening night party, I thought of what the conference meant to me at this point.  More specifically, what I learned differently from last year.

Allow me to recap some of the more interesting points the speakers presented.
