State of Web Development

Dion Almaer (Palm), Ben Galbraith (Mozilla)
12:05pm Friday, 09/19/2008
Topic: Development
Location: 1A08 & 10

The Ajax revolution is complete: Sophisticated JavaScript user interfaces are nearly ubiquitous. Yet, the innovations in the Ajax community continue. However, as we take a look back at why Ajax took off, we realize how important the user experience it is. As developers we often talk more about the engine than the car itself.

In this talk, Dion and Ben discuss the latest developments, including multithreaded JavaScript technology-powered UIs, robust offline storage, choosing the right Ajax/JavaScript technology framework, Ajax outside of the browser, and more.
