Overall though it rates extremely well.
The slides were on automatic, so the presenters had to be able to time their talk precisely to match up with their slides.
The event was twice the size of last year and will probably have to move to Birmingham in the future as Wolverhampton is running out of large enough venues.
I'll report back on the experience later. I'm giving an overview of the most important _javascript_ libraries, how they compare and the general problems that they are trying to solve. Clever, but a bit scary at the same time. According to the authors, doing this with _javascript_ requires painful code forking.
In _javascript_, that means that libraries that mess with Object.
I've met people who think that a Web Service is any application that you access over the Web - and it's easy to understand their confusion.

prototype or pollute global namespaces should be treated with caution. I fluffed the timing a bit, but the talk seemed to go over well.
It went OK, but I really should have spent more time getting the slides right. That's why I've left my image setting above to check every five minutes.
Another thing to keep an eye on. Good _javascript_ code takes advantage of its dynamic, functional nature. In _javascript_, that means that libraries that mess with Object. Both were excellent events in their own right, and great examples of event organisation done on a small to non-existent budget. They cover the bases effectively and each one offers something interesting that makes it worth studying in its own right.
Ajax requests are instead made through an invisible Flash file that uses Flash to load the data, parse the XML, extract some CDATA and pass it back to _javascript_ to replace a div. All of Matt's work ended up in vane when the Times stopped publishing the puzzle online just after his system started working. The organisers are still looking for speakers, so drop them a line if you have something to share.
Whatever it's doing, it works surprisingly well.
