FOWA Dublin – Powerful Tools that You Need (and Probably Don’t Know About)

Sunday, May 16th, 2010 at 1:44 pm

Last Friday I was up in Dublin at the Future of Web apps and gave my talk “Powerful Tools that You Need (and Probably Don’t Know About)”. I took FOWA as an opportunity to (re-)introduce the audience to some of the tools Yahoo offers and to brand the drive of developers to do everything by themselves instead of using already built solutions as ineffective.

The slides of my talk are available on SlideShare:

The audio of the talk is on Archive.org:

The video of the talk is available on Ustream:

Here are the resources I talked about as links:

Also check the YDN blog in the next few days for a full FOWA report.
