mdlbear(Yesterday was day 0 for me, since I didn't go to any tutorials.) I'm having lunch at the moment -- they feed us a box lunch on Wednesday and Thursday.
Last night's keynotes were great, as usual, as were this morning's. One cute statistic that came out this morning -- I don't remember whose talk, unfortunately -- was a list of the top 10 websites and the number of employees in the corresponding company. Microsoft was something like 61000. Craig's List was 18. Disruptive technology? You bet!
Went to morning sessions on cross-site solutions for XMLHttpRequest (all an assortment of hacks, many of them either dangerous or severely limited) and Embedding a Database in a Browser (Derby in a signed applet).
I seem to be concentrating on Javascript and web apps this year, having come to the realization that I need to work on something that gives good demos. Security infrastructure is great, but you only notice it if it's not working.
Portland locals should note that exhibit passes are free, (it's open until 7pm or so), and that there's a BOF session entitled "Open Music Jam" at 9:30. Yes, I'll be there.
