Webstock 2012: Sex, death, tech and how to make $100m
Mike Brown started off with a strangely disturbing eulogy to himself, the co-organisers and Webstock, and the love of doing a good job and how important that was. I almost expected him to break into My Way .
'Love' is always a big theme at Webstock; I guess there's some kind of hippy connection (ie, Woodstock). But it always makes me smile, as nearly a thousand web developers/IT professionals/entrepreneurs/etc in a room and talks of 'love' from the main stages strikes me as incongruous.
Actually, apart from all the intellectual goodness at Webstock every year, incongruity is always present. Last year it was from watching the 1930's German erotica-styled Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls) talk about sex, technology and all the while swearing, struck me as challenging geek comprehension. Although that wasn't half so strange as Palmer trying to make them dance during a musical performance to end the event.
A year before that, I (and most others, I suspect) was astounded when Kevin Rose (founder of Digg) announced he was going to tell everyone how to raise US$100 million in venture capital.

Step-by-step guide reveals best practices for improving Web sites with Ajax
A step-by-step guide to enhancing Web sites with Ajax.
Uses progressive enhancement techniques to ensure graceful degradation (which makes sites usable in all browsers).
Shows readers how to write their own Ajax scripts instead of relying on third-party libraries.
Web site designers love the idea of Ajax - of creating Web pages where information can be updated without refreshing the entire page.But for those who are not hard-core programmers, enhancing pages using Ajax can be a challenge. Even more of a challenge is to make the pages work for all users. Bulletproof Ajax, author Jeremy Keith demonstrates how developers comfortable with CSS and (X) HTML can build Ajax functionality without frameworks, using the ideas of graceful degradation and progressive enhancement to ensure that the pages work for all users. Throughout this step-by-step guide, his emphasis is on best practices, with an approach to building Ajax pages called Hijax, which improves flexibility and avoids worst-case scenarios.
