The Future of the Interwebz
I attended another lecture at Google with the founders of Ajaxian, Dion Almaer and Ben Galbraith — who were to discuss the future of the web. Honestly, they basically talked about some mobile, HTML 5 and some programming frameworks basically. They feel the mobile web will be tremendously fascinating as it will have the most potential. They both liked where javascript was going with jQuery taking the lead and both worked together at Mozilla labs on Bespin which runs on the holy canvas tag. For those of you who don’t know, Bespin is a Mozilla Lab web code editor that exists and lives in the cloud…
After the lecture was over and I asked Dion of what he truly thought of jQuery and he agreed that it is a practical framework/library that really empowers front-end designers and has no problem with them taking the lead as it were. After An Event Apart this year, where jQuery came out of the darkness — I immediately started writing and trying to digest the essence of it and now I feel I’ve truly been validated for my efforts as Dion and Ben are not your typical fron-end monkeys.
