Client Side Innovations

Don't look now, but client coding is cool again. After years of stagnation, a slew of new technologies has developers scrambling to bring their applications into a new era. Though much of this renewed effort has been driven by the emergence of Ajax, Flash, AIR, Silverlight and JavaFX have kept the train rolling. This talk will briefly cover these approaches to front end engineering giving you some ideas on what's right for your application.

Slides from the presentation are available.
