Treehouse is happy to announce that we’re partnering with this year’s Launch Festival to give you a Treehouse Skills Stage.
When: MARCH 4TH – 6TH 2013
Where: San Francisco Design Center Concourse
The 2013 LAUNCH Festival is “the best place to launch your startup, raise money and learn about starting a company”.
Because of Treehouse being a partner in the conference we’ve got hundreds of tickets to pass on to you our dear readers and members. If you’d like to enter for the chance at a FREE ticket, go HERE now. (Sorry, deadline now over. Noted, 3/3/12)
The Gist of Launch
40 companies launch (1.0 track) or launch new products (2.0 track) and compete for titles including Best Design, Best Technology, and Best Overall with 5,000+ attendees and 3,000 people in the audience making it the “largest live audience in technology.”
Angels, accelerators and VCs invested $1.4M in companies from LAUNCH FESTIVAL 2012. They expect to have $2M available this time! Their Grand Jury of seasoned investors and top journalists will observe all the main-stage action and choose the winners, while the panel of judges will sit on stage and give instant feedback on every demo. Plus they’ll have hundreds of already launched startups in their Demo Pit — those that most impress the Grand Jury will get to present on stage.
Competitions
Launch 1.0
This competition is for completely new companies that have never had any press, public demos and whose services are currently in closed alpha or beta.
Launch 2.0
This competition is for existing companies that are launching new products such as an iPhone app or significant new versions of an existing product. For example, Path 2.0 would qualify as a “significant new version” of an existing project.
Launch Alpha
This brand new competition is for the best LAUNCH Hackathon project of the five that makes the main stage.
Bing Demo Pit
This competition is for existing companies that have already launched. A selection of companies from this group will be chosen by the Grand Jury to present on stage.

En verdad que esta es una propiedad muy util que facilita mucho el proceso de dar estilos con css, gran artículo.
Nice, I understood the meaning of the property and its usage. 🙂
Thanks Guil, as always I enjoyed your blog post. This tip surely will certainly help me build better layouts now that I don’t have to manually calculate widths. With the CSS box sizing rule all I have to do is declare one box size and the rule takes care of padding and such. Once again thanks!!
