I’m not sure how much I would have gotten out of Google’s I/O conference at the end of May, because so many of the sessions seemed to center around GWT and Gears, which I have little interest in. But fortunately they posted videos of the talks on Youtube, and I really like this one byAlex Russell of the Dojo JS library. It’s not a talk about practical solutions to the larger problems facing the web, but it gives a thoughtful, articulate, big-picture summary of what brought us here, where we’re going, and who to yell at to change something.
