Presentation: "The Web Platform"
Time:
Wednesday 10:45 - 11:45
Location:
Fleming Room
Abstract: A few years ago, Web developers discovered that browsers had hidden
within them a few capabilities that when properly utilized could
redefine the state of the web application art. Initially referred to
as 'Ajax', these technologies have gone from being simple hacks into
becoming the foundation for an exciting new client platform--the Web
Platform. While Ajax was initially about wringing a bit more power out
of stagnant browsers, times have changed: browsers are evolving at
impressive speed, to say nothing of the Internet-speed evolution of
the libraries built on top of them.
In this session, Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer--the founders of
Ajaxian.com and Co-directors of Developer Tools at Mozilla--discuss
the state of the Web Platform, including a look at the latest
technologies and a peek over the horizon at what's to come. Attendees
may find the talk a liberating experience.
