I am writing this introduction in the BA lounge at Heathrow, about to get on a plane to Australia where I will be speaking and leading a CSS Layout workshop at Web Directions Code. I'll also be speaking at MelbJS while in Melbourne, it is going to be a busy 10 days! Perhaps I will see some of you there - come and say hello!
A big thank you to sponsor this week CSS Dev Conf 2016, which I will be speaking at along with a whole line-up of fantastic speakers in San Antonio, Texas this October.
