SitePen’s Dylan Schiemann delivered the last of his three Rich Web Experience 2011 presentations yesterday, Never Bet Against the Open Web.
Dylan had this to say about his time at #RWX2011:
The level of interest in AMD, object stores, and mobile is impressive. And the excitement around the potential of xstyle and put-selector was also very cool to see. The community is seemingly rabid for new tools and features that make development easier, and it’s incredible to be part of that.
And if you haven’t seen this already- Dojo 1.7 Released!
We have made all of Dylan’s Rich Web Experience 2011 (and many other) presentations available here. Don’t forget to follow SitePen on Twitter and Google+!

After an amazing Real Time, Real Fast keynote address on the opening night of Rich Web Experience 2011, Dylan delivered an authoritative presentation on Dojo 2.0: Modular, Mobile, and Reinventing Web App Development. He talked about the reinvention of the Dojo Toolkit, showed off the wide variety of features and approaches currently available in Dojo, and even gave a sneak peak of the forthcoming Dojo 2.0 release!
Hot off the presses! Dylan just penned this announcement on the release of Dojo 1.7!
Today Dylan will share his passion for the open web with all Rich Web Experience 2011 attendees through his Never Bet Against the Open Web presentation. He will showcase his expert knowledge of the open web through explanations of how the open web is quickly replacing, diminishing or lowering the barrier to entry for all native platform capabilities.
For those of you not attending Rich Web Experience 2011, or if you were so amazed that you want to see his presentations again, we will be making all of Dylan’s Rich Web Experience 2011 presentations available online shortly after the conference.

If you’re attending the Future of Web Apps conference in London in early October, be sure to introduce yourself. I’m excited to learn the results of the 2009 Web Application survey.
After the conference, you can learn more about SitePen and the future of Dojo at these post-conference events:

SitePen recently returned from Beantown, the host city to this year’s Dojo Developer Day (DDD) and The Ajax Experience, the largest annual conference dedicated to Ajax development. SitePenners in attendance included Joe Walker, Kris Zyp, Tom Trenka, Peter Higgins, and Alex Russell, all of whom must be applauded for their great presentations at both events. Kudos to all!

Just back from @media Ajax with a few ideas buzzing around. One based on this comic:
It's patently absurd. And yet it's what we do with accessibility all the time, and in some ways the differences between someone with a visual impairment and someone with dexterity difficulties could be greater than the differences between a Spanish and Italian speaker.

I gave a talk on Dojo Wednesday at ZendCon, and when I walked into the room for the talk, there was some disorder as the conference center staff were taking out the tables to fit more chairs in. Even with the extra space, the room was totally packed, thanks in large part to the amazing Dojo integration work that the Zend team has done.

The PyCon 2008 talk videos are making their way up to YouTube. My talk is not yet there, and the footage they’re putting up right now is the “raw” footage from the camera at the back of the room. I have posted a screencast version of my talk, “Rich UI Webapps with TurboGears 2 and Dojo”:

This past weekend was the time for PyCon 2008, which was in Chicago for the first time. The US PyCon conference is a volunteer-run conference, which means that it’s filled with Python enthusiasts. Even the vendors there are enthusiastic about Python.
This year, there was a lot to be cheery about. The Dallas venue of the past two years would never have held the 1,000+ person crowd. For me, the primary appeal of a conference like PyCon is that it’s a chance to meet many people who are doing interesting things. I’m a big fan of the “hallway track” and open spaces. I think it was at the first CodeMash that I heard Bruce Eckel talk about how you can watch an “eyes-forward” presentation anywhere on video, but the face-to-face discussion can only happen when people are brought together.

SitePen was in the news recently:
Simplexity Rising: Web usability reveals itself to be a game of hide-and-seek covers our session, “Your Mom, 2.0″, for the upcoming SXSW 2008, and offers some choice quotes about building web apps that are feature rich yet easy to use. At this session, we’ll be discussing the things that make an app that’s easy for Mom to use but still delivers the features everyone wants to use. The format is somewhat of a round-table discussion, and we’ve invited a few local Austin Moms to attend. We’ll also present the results of a survey of Moms, and see where this open discussion takes us.
Developers Seek Web, Dynamic Languages is a summary of a recent developer survey, noting the rise in interest of Ajax among other things. Our Research & Development Director Alex Russell explains why dynamic languages are becoming so popular: increasing CPU power puts greater emphasis on developer efficiency. Dynamic languages like Ruby, Python, and PHP are “just riding the complexity versus CPU power curves.” It’s not just a matter of letting people bang out apps in 30 minutes—when you worry less about the infrastructure, you get to spend more time on features and design.
The article mentions a number of advantages to web apps—easy deployment, painless updates, huge reach—plus one of our favorites: openness. As proponents of the Open Web, our investments in research and development of open source web tools and technologies make it easier for you to deliver great user experiences, even for Your Mom.
