Hello.

I had a great time speaking at the Berlin GTUG, despite the unexpectedly hot weather. I presented on Web Apps, highlighting the differences between native and web apps, key principles of good app design, and some of the exciting new possibilities with HTML5, CSS3, and WebSockets. I wish I'd had more time to delve into frameworks for building great apps and do some live coding. Chris Chabot also gave a fantastic talk about Buzz. The venue, BetaHaus, was excellent, and I was impressed by everyone's English fluency. Thanks to all who attended!

I'm excited to announce I'll be speaking at the Berlin GTUG on July 15th, 2010, about building HTML-based applications. The talk will explore the differences between web pages and true applications, with plenty of examples. This will be my first time in Berlin, and although my visit is short, I'm looking forward to it! Slides and photos to follow.
