Google I/O 2009 - Bespin and the Open Web

Google I/O 2009 - Bespin and the Open Web

Dion Almaer, Ben Galbraith

The Bespin project from Mozilla Labs is an experiment in re-envisioning how we develop software. In its current guise as a sometimes-fast web-based text editor shrouded in a horribly incomplete code editing platform, its potential might not be readily apparent. In this talk, Ben and Dion (two of the folks behind Bespin) will discuss the goals of the project, how they got to where we are now, go into implementation details on what it takes to build a bleeding edge application for today's browsers (and not the ones from 1997) and share some hopes and thoughts on the future.

Wow. I have followed your work / evangelistic espionage via ajaxian for years now and as much as I love it - now I have an even bigger appreciation for you. Aside from the obvious technical chasms you are helping folks hurdle, this was as efficient of a two man presentation as I have ever seen. It speaks to your collaborative passion and I am sure will be reflected in bespin and beyond. Great presentation.

I really like the gooey architecture. But @ youtube: for this kind of videos I'd appreciate a chapters functionality or a search for the transcript.

The future of web browsers is to make them invisible..
