Kurt Cagle's OpenSVG Keynote

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the magnitude-with-direction dept.

Metaphorically writes "Kurt Cagle has posted a summary of his keynote speech from the SVG Open 2005. Inspiring for an SVG enthusiast, informative for any geek. He covers a lot of ground on XML and the next generation of GUI. It connects a lot of technologies that people might otherwise not totally grasp. If you haven't been following the development of XForms, E4X, SVG and XAML then this is a great way to catch up."

      You and I differ sir, that just sounds like a whole steaming pile of tax return forms. Putting an X in stuff doesn't make it exciting for me anymore, that's just so 1977.
