How do we do that, and how do we achieve it within a reasonable amount of time?

What’s the state of CSS and JavaScript today? What are some of the exciting new technologies that have landed in browsers recently? And where would we even start refactoring and re-organizing our legacy code base? Oh my, in the session we’ll cover it all!
