Just a quick post to tell you that I’ve been selected to speak at JSConf.eu 2010 in Berlin in September. JSConf.eu is the most important JavaScript conference held in Europe. Last year speakers included John Resig, Douglas Crockford and 280 north people among others. I’m very excited about this event and I can’t wait to meet everyone there!

More updates will come in the next few days. You can also follow feeds from the main page event or follow them on twitter. Oh, I have a twitter account, too :)

Australia Developer Conference in Brisbane and Melbourne in December. YOW! is the new name for the JAOO (a.k.a Java and OO) conferences that have been running for over 13 years around the world already. YOW! Australia 2010 will include talks by Guy L. Steele, Jr., Erik Meijer and me among others -yes, I can’t believe I just put myself in the same list as these people!.

Anyway, I’ll keep you updated.

I’ll be speaking about Using Web Standards to create Interactive Data Visualizations for the Web. Here’s the abstract:

What is the best way to render complex information on the Web? The Document metaphor has been used for years in Web Standards to define the best way to show information on the Web. Today, Web Documents are turning into full fledged Web Applications and a Web Standards revolution is taking place to provide richer ways to present complex data. HTML is covering new patterns as Drag and Drop and 2D graphics; CSS is now covering transforms and animations, and JavaScript just got 100% faster. Web Standards are important because they are built natively in Web Browsers providing common functionality guidelines, independence from third-party libraries, and high interoperability with other Web components. The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit is a toolkit for Information Visualization built solely on Web Standards. This Toolkit provides many visualization techniques to seamlessly integrate Interactive Data Visualizations in Web Pages, turning them into Web Applications. In this talk I’d like to present an overview of the new features in Web Standards and also some concepts behind the making of the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit, as well as some user applications..

You can find more information about this talk and how to get there here. Everyone’s invited!
