I’m very happy to announce that my beloved open source project is announced over at JSConf EU as an Advanced Silver Sponsor!

Additionally, Ruben Daniels and I will be presenting about the new APF version and the insane stuff you can build with it:

Title: Building collaborative applications with Ajax.org Platform
Abstract/ About: Web trends and technologies today are converging to do one thing particularly well: collaborate.
All of us dream about the possibility to weave collaborative features from products like Google Wave, EtherPad, SubEthaEdit, Mozilla Bespin, Google Docs into our own applications.
Ajax.org Platform combines technology and open standards into a solution to build web applications with rich collaborative features at minimum expense.
The simple-yet-elegant, declarative API makes it easier to learn, while its openness in design allows it to be extended to the level you and your team are comfortable with.
Forget lock-in of vendors and other libraries or frameworks, forget waiting for the Big Boys to open source their latest inventions.
Start building your next - or first - collaborative web application today, visit ajax.org.

I’m really looking forward to meet all of the cool people that will be attending the very first JSConf in Europe!
The ones who are lucky enough to have obtained a ticket can really call themselves the avant-garde of the Javascript community ;)

I hope to see you there!

Visual communication with Jing

I’ve been using this tool for a couple of months now, together with my colleagues at Javeline, and it has proven itself to be a power tool. If I want to show off a (supposedly) cool new thing I’m working on, or visualize this nasty bug that my co-worker promised to fix months ago, I press ‘Command+Shift+1′ automatically now; Jing captures what I’m doing in image or video quality and afterwards I can upload it to my account at Screencast.com with the push of a button. It puts the short URL to my video clip on the clipboard, so that I can paste it in into my chat conversation or blog article right away:

It just works. Nice.

It’s free, works on Windows and Mac OS X.

Introducing HTML5 features… now! (Part one)

Published on November 24, 2008 in Articles, HTML5, Javeline, Multimedia and Open Source. 6 Comments

We think the HTML5 specification, published and maintained by the WHATWG, and the Open Web initiative are beautiful entry points to jump start a new generation of Internet applications. There is one downside to these endeavors: we web developers need to wait for browser vendors to implement features like the <audio> tag, <video> tag, undo/ redo, local storage, cross-domain XHR, validation, etc. And even when these features are implemented inside the new browser versions, we still need to wait for them to hit mainstream and replace the old versions. But we don’t want to wait, we want them now!
