The conference "The Future of Web Applications"
The two-day conference “The Future of Web Applications” (The Future of Web Apps) is designed specifically for web developers. Here they discuss their specific problems, for example, which software interfaces are better to use, how to implement certain functions of social networks, which companies are going to create new applications in the Web 2.0 area and where they can get a job. In general, the conference for "advanced" developers, of approximately the same kind as the Moscow WWW20006 Russia , which is scheduled for October.
Of course, the most topical, most interesting topics are discussed at the conference. Even the list of these topics is of interest, because it gives an opportunity to understand in which direction the industry is developing.
For example, a specialist in Flex spoke at Adobe about an interesting hybrid TagTV service that pulls out photos from YouTube and Flickr photo hosting sites and places them on a web desktop. The hybrid service works through the software interfaces of the photo hosting sites and was created, of course, on the Flex platform. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing revolutionary in the service. But then the Flex specialist does an amazing thing: he demonstrates how this service works outside the browser, right on the desktop of the personal computer. This is already impressive.
Other speakers include representatives of the specialized network BeRecruited , which has been operating since 2000. This is a database of schoolchildren, among whom coaches from colleges choose suitable ones. Candidates publish their anthropometric data, as well as videos of their performances, and the coach can choose the appropriate candidate from thousands of applicants. An interesting example of how fashionable now social networks are used for practical purposes.

Another interesting exhibit at the conference is Sxip , which is developing a Whobar system for managing identity profiles in web applications.
