Browser Wars: Episode II The Attack of the DOMs
If you’re in the Bay Area and interested in Web browsers, make plans to come watch Douglas Crockford moderate a panel, Browser Wars: Episode II The Attack of the DOMs, between the Big Four browser vendors. Håkon Wium Lie (CTO of Opera) and Chris Wilson (Mr IE himself) are already confirmed, and I expect the other two to send big guns too.
It should be a unique and exciting discussion, to say the least.
I expect Crockford to be an excellent moderator – I always enjoy his wit, and he definitely knows his stuff. If you want to see him in action in advance, and learn a ton about the DOM in the process, watch his three-part 78 minute presentation called “An Inconvenient API: The Theory of the Dom” hosted on our YUI Blog.
Thank you Nate for covering our Feb 28 event in your blog.
I agree completely with you on how excellent Douglas Crockford would be as a moderator. There is no other better moderator in leading this historical meeting.
Please help us to share the news and spread the words.
Yes we have confirmed our last speaker, Mike Shaver, from FireFox.
