We have seen and heard some very interesting speakers on the Kings of Code conference in Amsterdam.

First of all there was Nate Koechley. He is a front end engineer from Yahoo! and he is working on YUI.  Everything he told I knew already, but he did a very good and convincing gig. He had one little new item: Steve Souders, the founder of YSLOW has moved to Google. That is number two in a relative short frame of time. Dustin Diaz went to google too.
I wonder how many developers will leave Yahoo! when, and if, Microsoft will take over.

John Resig talked about the major javascript libraries. We know tehm all, dont we? Prototype, YUI, Jquery and Dojo. which one is the best? I don’t know. They are all quite good I guess. But I don’t use them. I am doing it the hard way. Why? Because I like it. :Do it you self”

Peter Paul  Koch told his story about event handlers and event delegation. Event delegation is hot at the moment. There is only one problem: some events won’t bubble up (or propagate).
Iwrote some code to do some delegation myself, and called it: javascript style sheet. I will have to digg in again and I hope to publish some of it this summer. (Stay tuned)

In the company I work for I keep on saying “Please use Firebug“, and most of my co-workers answer something like “Euh huh, use what?”

Nate Koechley asked the audience of Kings of Code “Who uses Firebug” and everyone raised his (or her) hand. That was great. I am not alone!
