Proposed Sessions

 

  • User Centered Design/Development
  • Rich Internet Applications (RIAs); pros and cons of using; technologies: XHR, Flex/Flash, etc.
  • "Design is ____" (v2) a presentation on the definition of design, its importance, and how to use it to its fullest potential - Roby Fitzhenry w/ Always Creative
  • 'Tips on communicating with customers for designers and web developers' - Brad Dressler w/ bcd design
  • MarkupNinja 's Take on CSS Frameworks, and how we'll turn the industry on its ear with ours.

 

  • The relative unimportance of design (but we love designers) - ;) Michael Mcginnis
  • Optimal lawn mowing paths w/code! - Jeremy Kelley
  • Meta-resources: Whats next for RESTful web services? - Ben Burkert
  • Software testing practices - Ben Burkert
  • Something, not sure yet. Maybe something creative like a reading - Johnny Citizen
  • Memorial Service for the term 'Web 2.0': let's put the term 'Web 2.0' to rest, have it live on in the term "Web", and keep cranking out cool new sites with better interfaces, user contribution, and open APIs.
  • "MVC and PHP" or "Hey, those Rails kids had a great idea!" - Daniel Cousineau & Chris Weldon
    • ...or any other PHP or Server-Side design topics, I would prefer to have a nice session on MVC even though most people (everybody except for Rails coders, and even some Rails coders) don't know the MVC design pattern at all.
  • PEAR has done the work for you: Quick Forms is my hero - Daniel Cousineau
    • While I would pick the above presentation over this one, a good 15-30 minute presentation on the wonders of Quick Forms (PHP only, however anyone else can get ideas and write their own libraries for Rails, etc.) and how much it speeds up dev time.
  • LINQ - More robust code. Quicker development time. Smaller code base. - Chris Weldon & Ben Floyd
  • Financing your startup 101 - Josh Tabin
  • Any tech startup related issues (equity, financing, business model, etc.) - James Lancaster
  • Managing the "Omni-Me" - James Lancaster
  • Mobile journalist (MoJo) setup using (mostly) open source tools with podcast-type tips from a former radio anchor - Jonny Dover
  • Code, values and culture: A discussion of what's important and what it means for the Web's architectural path. - Ethan Moore
  • seven months around the world surfing my social network - noneck aka luckofseven.com
  • Securing your web sites and web apps - Andrew Ellis
  • Introduction to Expression Blend and Silverlight - Hilary Pike

 

 

Topics I would like to hear about

 

  • Community building
  • Anything about Leadership
  • Anything about creativity
  • New Media and Marketing
  • AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), and what it does
  • The State of SVG
    • I could talk about this, I did some research into it a while back but it'll just be depressing. The actual specification isn't done yet (pure specification last time I checked is just barely to the point where all of Illustrator's features from the .ai format can be replicated), and browser implementation is horrific (Firefox being the best of show). -- Daniel (dcousineau@gmail.com)
  • Drupal themeing
  • anything Django-related
  • anything Adobe Flex related
  • Social Marketing
  • Podcasting techniques & tools
  • iTunesU (educational podcasting)
  • Volunteering webwork for non-profit organizations
  • jQuery
  • Django & Python
  • Utils, one-offs and other toolbox stuff: what's in your software toolbox?
  • Regex: The uber tool.
  • CMS or See A Mess? Struggles in managing content and its development
