Schedule: Development sessions
The Web has shown us a new way of building and releasing software. Moving at lightspeed is expected. Lightweight frameworks with support for standards and interactivity are the chosen weapons of the day. Ajax, Flash, and now Silverlight provide the interactivity. The frameworks – such as Ruby on Rails, Django, and Dojo – ease development. Security is a major requirement for every app. Web services (and users) provide (and share) the data. This track is for experienced programmers looking to improve their understanding of the technical ecosystem – what’s baked now and what’s lurking below the radar.

The Web Platform often gets dinged for its lack of great tools. In the past, that would have been a fair demerit. And while, in the present, there are surely some gaps when compared to other environments, in reality, there are a bunch of interesting developer tools for the Web. In this session, we explore some of the most popular of these, including Firebug and another new tool from Mozilla.
