Convention Over Configuration Design by Rida Al Barazi

How can we, as developers, build nice-looking, accessible, and usable web applications?
 
Why is it easier for a developer to build a nice looking Mac, iPhone or Android application over building a nice looking web application? The secret is in having predefined Human Interface Guidelines and UI components that are ready for developers to use on these platforms. What's equivalent to those guidelines and components in web development? What are the available solutions, and how can we make the most out of them? 
 
Rida Al Barazi will be talking about Design Patterns, Design Frameworks, available CSS frameworks and how to integrate them into our day to day Rails application development.
