Tech Presentations

A couple of good presentations from AJAX Experience conference - JavaScript Library Overview by John Resig, creator of jQuery for those who wants to pick a good JS framework and Learning to Love Forms by Aaron Gustafson for those who struggle with formatting forms using CSS (I never could do that properly).

If you want to follow emerging technologies, you must take a look at presentation by Brad Fitzpatrick and David Recordon about opening social graph. These guys did make OpenID a reality, I hope they’ll succeed in adding more openness to user’s social data.

Thanks to Alex Moskalyuk, I’ve added several presentations about scalability:

• System Abstractions for Handling Large Datasets
• Building a Scalable Resource Mgmt System for Grid Computing
• YouTube Scalability
• Lessons In Building Scalable Systems
• Using MapReduce on Large Geographic Datasets
• SCTPs Reliability and Fault Tolerance
  
• VeriSign’s Global DNS Infrastucture
• Lustre File System

Plus Marissa Mayer’s presentation Scaling Google for Every User which is more about user experience measurement and so on - not so much about technical scalability.

Thanks to Brad Fitzpatrick, here’s a new presentation about Seam Carving algorithm for Image re-targeting.
