TCWD&S December Meetup: Web Standards: What's the Fuss?

There's lots of talk about web standards and why they are beneficial to both user and business needs. We'll be covering what standards are, why they're important, where the web is going with microformats and the semantic web, and illustrate real CSS/XHTML techniques to help you build hack-free sites faster.
