The future of web apps summit
February 9th, 2006
My work were kind enough to send me to the Carson Workshops “The Future of Web Apps” conference in London yesterday. It was a really good day, with some excellent talks. I particularly enjoyed listening to Tom Coates (Yahoo) and Cal Henderson (Flickr). Although it was Steffen Meschkat from Google who took quote of the day for me when comparing software to music: “AJAX is pop software”.
Simon Willison seems to have taken better notes than me.
Update: the guys from Carson Workshops still haven’t made the podcasts available, but another attendee has:
- Joshua Schachter, Delicious
- Cal Henderson, Flickr
- Tom Coates, Yahoo!
- David Heinemeier Hansson, Ruby on Rails
- Shaun Inman, Mint
- Ryan Carson, DropSend
- Steffen Meschkat, Google
I don’t think he bothered with the Flex advert from the guy from Adobe. Don’t blame him – Flash is dire pish.
If you only want to listen to one or two, I’d go for Cal Henderson and Tom Coates.
Update 2: there are also slides from Tom Coates’ talk available.
