HTML5 is upon us and it offers a wide range of exciting possibilities when it comes to developing rich web interfaces. This talk will introduce you to a number of them and hopefully inspire you to create amazing things!

Robert has been doing web interface development for 12 years and he loves writing HTML, CSS and especially JavaScript. When he doesn't work as a consultant, he blogs at robertnyman.com, tweets at @robertnyman and gives talks at conferences.
Proxy Objects are going to an amazing new addition to the next version of ECMAScript. You will be able to allow a proxy to intercede any method or internal within the ECMA specification, allowing you to wrap everything in the JavaScript object domain. This is super powerful for logging, debugging, operation inversion, and if you can wrap the entire DOM and record timestamps, this might be the magic bullet that will allow you record and replay DOM interactions. We are bringing metaprogramming or Meta Object Programming to JavaScript and this will be your first peek at this awesome technology.
If you are talking hardcore-JavaScript there simply is no way around John (If you don't believe us check this out and understand why this is cool and fundamentally changing JavaScript):
'All the major libraries have ended up looking like jQuery. Now they just bicker about who is the fastest. Library authors stopped innovating 2-3 years ago.' - Dean Edwards
FuseJS is a new JS library that is bringing innovation back, solving problems thought unsolvable and challenging the JS status quo. I will give a brief history of FuseJS and discuss some of the areas FuseJS is innovating including sandboxed natives, event delegation, memory leak plugging, element cloning, feature testing/detection registries & profiling, API design, and customization.
About John
My first JavaScript project was a Super Mario Bros. game engine I made
in high school. I have always been drawn to JavaScript and other ECMAScript based languages. I spend most of my time tinkering with JavaScript frameworks, fixing
bugs, and running benchmarks. I love interacting with the JavaScript community and try to help as much as possible. I have a bachelors degree in Multimedia Instructional Design, an awesome wife, and an adorable Boston Terrier.
