I submitted a session proposal for the 2008 South by Southwest Interactive Festival. There are about 600 proposed talks and panels. Only a fifth of those will be chosen. Though there’s an editorial aspect to the selection process, the primary factor is democratic. So, if you would, please take a moment to review the description of my session and vote for it if you find it interesting.
You need to register on their site before you can vote, but it only takes a second.
As the description says, the talk is based on a book I’m writing with Matt Sweeney. (Yes, writing a book. An exciting prospect, but a challenge, too.)
Here’s my talk’s page on their Panel Picker application. And here’s the description:
The State of Professional Front-End Engineering
An immense body of theory and practice in the front-end engineering discipline has evolved in the past decade, particularly in the past four years. This talk draws from my forthcoming O’Reilly book, separates signal from noise, and codifies the state of the art of Professional Front-end Engineering.
Thanks!

Totally interested in that book.

Michael, thanks. It’s my first book project, so I’m not sure what I’ve gotten myself into. But I have a story I want to tell, and I’ve written most of the concepts several times in other settings, and it’s what I’m passionate about, so….
Thanks again,
Nate

I will activate the SXSW panel finder and vote for you, Nate. But for that - when you come to Austin, lets meet up for good food and drink.
BTW - When I mentioned a panel to Hugh Forrest , SXSW Interactive Chair, a couple of nights ago, he just trned pale. 350 panel applications last year; 700 this year. The panel chooser is too much for everyone. Got to find a new way of filtering panels next year, he said.
See you in Austin, Nate. Guero’s for sure!
Jim
