A square sketch note compilation in black and white with occasional gray shading and orange touches. These are conference highlights from CSS Dev Conf 2014, with cartoons, hand-drawn type, and a few speaker names and social media handles thrown in. There are lots of references to style-sheet-related topics—Sass, floats, SVG, typography, naming conventions, and more. Also plenty of references to host city New Orleans and some of the conference events, like a parade through the French quarter, rain & beignets afterward, plus banjos, tarot, and a drink&draw competition at the closing party.
