My talk at Web 2.0 Expo this Friday

Brian Dillard, Wednesday, April 23, 2008 @ 11:51 pm

I have arrived in San Francisco for Web 2.0 Expo. Over the next couple of days, I'll post about my favorite sessions and all that jazz. But here's the obligatory plug for my session, which takes place at 3.50 p.m. Friday in room 2003. I posted about my talk when I was first accepted, and I'm really pleased with the way it's come together. I did a dry run of it with my peers at Pathfinder on Monday and got a lot of excellent feedback.

As previously reported, my session is called Do Try This at Home: Ajax Bookmarking, Cross-site Scripting, and Other Web 2.0 Browser Hacks. In it, I'll examine the various draft WC3 specs that are already coming alive in the latest crop of browsers - and how you, the everyday developer, can help road-test the future of the web by employing the new tools sooner rather than later.

I'm part of the development track, but given that I'm speaking in the last session on the last day, I'm going to mix the technical details with a lot of strategy and DIY cheerleading. The best thing about my R&D job here at Pathfinder is the chance it affords me to play with all the latest toys. I want to encourage other developers to do the same, even if they can't find a way to work such forays into their day-to-day projects.

Hope to see you there!
