Happy Easter everyone! It was a slow week for me and thus it’s the shortest list since starting the Weekly Recap series, I apologise. Nevertheless, enjoy the links and don’t forget so spend some time with your family. Cheers!

• CSSconf EU 2014
  After the huge success last year, the CSSconf EU is coming back this year. I hope to be there this year.

• gulp – The vision, history, and future of the project
  Interesting background information on gulp.js.

• Picturefill
  Picturefill Version 2 (Alpha) with native picture element support by Scott Jehl is here.

• WordPress 3.9 “Smith”
  Version 3.9 of WordPress was released this week. It features easier image upload and editing and much more. I use it on this blog since it’s early alpha and recommend you update you blog, too.

• Hassle Free Responsive Images for WordPress
  Interesting and well done solution but I’m hesitant to using it because if one would ever disable this plugin, all the shortcodes and therefore all images won’t work anymore.

• IcoMoon
  If you work with icon fonts, this is THE web app for you. I use it all the time to create custom icon fonts.

Vitaly Friedman:

In a nutshell: The Smashing Conference is a friendly, valuable and inspiring community event that will help designers and developers become better in their work, be it front- or back-end development, UX design, content strategy or running a business.

From September 17th to 19th 2012 the first Smashing Conference will take place in Freiburg, Germany. I’m really tempted to go there. Price is €249 for the first 70 tickets and then €349 for the remaining 280. That’s a lot of money, but is anybody going?

This video emphasizes everything I already heard about the Front-Trends conference. I really wish to go next year.
As a side note I can tell you that I’m currently doing an interview with Harry Roberts, the guy behind csswizardry, who also spoke at Front-Trends. I think it will be very good.

Harry Roberts:

All of the talks were fantastic, very, very diverse, a mixture of technical and theoretical. They were all remarkable but my personal favourites were Rachel’s, Chris’, Mathias’ and Bartek’s.

Sounds like Front-Trends 2012 was a very, very good and fun conference. I really want to attend next year. Hopefully my english is a lot better till then.
