The Browser and Beyond. April 3rd 2008
Symposium Hall, Edinburgh
Enjoy a day of the web's best speakers discussing the future of information online.
A First Class Web Citizen
Are your websites and applications upstanding members of the online world? Do they talk clearly and politely when asked a question (by a passing web app obviously) or are they a little shifty and have a habit of speaking in strange languages?
Including a practical discussion of HTTP, URL design, microformat based APIs and open authentication, this presentation aims to distil from examples what will make your websites and applications fit in with The Web.
Gareth Rushgrove, More than Seven
