WebrockerTake back your web - Tantek Çelik @ Beyond Tellerrand Conference, Düsseldorf 2019

Beyond Tellerrand Düsseldorf 2019
For the ninth year I attended this great small conference about Web, Design and going beyond. Here are some notes and thoughts. Maybe I polish it later, but I want to get this out of my head. These moments stuck with me - which does not mean that any talk that is not mentioned here…
The Power of Metaphor - Mike Hill @Beyond Tellerrand Conference, Düsseldorf 2019
