Developer world - We have begun to post the videos from the epic JSConf 2009. Kicking off the string of 17 videos from the conference is Francisco Tolmasky talking about the origins and deep tech involved in 280 North's Objective-J and Cappuccino frameworks. Enjoy!

For us who don't enjoy videos longer than a minute, is there any way we can get a transcript, web page with highlights, blog post, anything?

Thanks from the busy developer world.

We will see what we can pull together, at a minimum I can point you to the slides http://www.slideshare.net/tolmasky/js-conf-2009

Even better, you can view the slides on 280 North's own slide creator - http://280slides.com/Viewer/?user=56&name=JSConf%202009&...

This guy is a very smart person. He & his 3 buddies have done amazing things for the state of rich web applications. Either Google or Apple should be acquiring 280North.

It sounded like they all used to work for Apple. I'm honestly surprised Apple hasn't acquired them yet (possible they turned them down I guess), seems like such a perfect acquisition to me.

Apple already acquired the sproutcore people, whose javascript api is similar to Cocoa. All of MobileMe was developed in sproutcore.

Sproutcore isn't something made by or supported by Apple, it's a project created by the individual who was later involved with the development of MobileMe.

This was an excellent conference, and this presentation in particular was an eye-opener.

Google I/O may be getting all the press this week, but for those of us who went to JSConf last month, we already know what's going on.

the stream of tweet during this talk was pretty impressive, excited to finally start to be able watch the JSConf presentations (signed up for rss feed for notification) ...

There's some cool nib2cib demos (using interface builder to make web apps) near the end
