Phew! said Danny Ayers, relieved said Erik Bruchez. Our upcoming Web 2.0 book is written and it’s been both hard work but also fun.

I am making all kind of tests for the chapter about multimedia of our upcoming Web 2.0 book and as it is often the case when I am writing, this is sparkling a number of strange ideas.
I was exploring the similarities between playlists, podcasts and SMIL animation when it occurred to me that it might [...]
Our upcoming Web 2.0 book is giving me the opportunity to have a closer look to the state of SVG.
After all kind of announcements for native SVG support in browsers, I was expecting that with my new Ubuntu Dapper distribution, SVG would be really easy to display.
The first thing I have tested is to display [...]
This coming week-end, I’ll have the pleasure to be at XML Prague, a small and friendly XML conference in a wonderful city.
This year, I’ll leave out my usual XML schema languages expert hat to speak on two topics:
An experience to define a RDF/XML Query By Example language. This presentation relates a very cool project that [...]
