Eric Meyer’s Summary
I'm well versed in general Web standards, standards-oriented design, standards-based site optimization, CSS, and HTML. I'm also familiar with XML, XSLT, JavaScript, and related technologies.
In the past, I've written several books on CSS (including "Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide" for O'Reilly and Associates), founded the css-discuss mailing list, maintained CSS support charts, and presented at a wide variety of conferences. I've also been the project leader and designer for sites such as Netscape DevEdge, Case Western Reserve University, and the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History.
Currently an independent consultant, I'm focusing on providing organizations with training in CSS and standards-oriented design, and in using standards to optimize sites and thereby save money.
