Rik on code

I just presented the giant pyramid of application development on CodeBits in lisbon a few days ago.
The main theme of the talk was to observe the evolution of all the dozens of layers that nowadays stand in-between the ‘application’ and the ‘hardware’ on a given device and reasons why it evolved that way.
It then moves into the current top-layer: Web application development based on the webbrowser and the function we see Ajax.org technologies have in making development easier.

My previous talk was at The Ajax Experience in Boston about our charting engine, and the talk itself was presented from a full-screen browser.
