[cap-talk] Techtalk by Doug Crockford on "Gears and the Mashup Problem"

[Mark Miller]

Doug Crockford will be giving a Google Techtalk  tomorrow, 9/20 at
11am on "Gears and the Mashup Problem"


Mashups are the most interesting innovation in software development in
decades. Unfortunately, the browser's security model did not
anticipate this development, so mashups are not safe if there is any
confidential information in the page. Since virtually every page has
at least some confidential information in it, this is a big problem.
Google Gears may lead to the solution.


Douglas Crockford is the world's foremost living authority on
JavaScript. He is an architect with Yahoo's Ajax Strike Force. He is
the founder of two startups, and was Director of Technology at
Lucasfilm Ltd., Director of New Media at Paramount, and a researcher
at Atari and SRI.

Besides his official bio above, Doug Crockford is a long time
object-capability person (helping to create E while at Electric
Communities) and is the creator of JSON.


If you're outside Google and would like to attend, please show up at
the Google main campus Bldg 41 lobby no later than 10:30am. If you
could also send me email ahead of time letting me know, that'd be
great, but is not required. My cell number is
four oh eight, three one oh, one three one two.
