Web Standards for Web Applications
At the upcoming Web App Summit 2009, I’ll be presenting an all new workshop, “Web Standards for Web Applications.” The fabulous and ever-smooth Jared Spool interviewed me recently about the topic, covering issues such as HTML5, The rise of JavaScript, the integration of proprietary and standardized technologies and of course, browsers. We also had a few laughs along the way.
Listen to the audiocast, visit the Web Apps Summit page, and leave me some comments. I feel I’ve neglected this blog so much, so shout out your thoughts!

Hi Molly,
I enjoyed the podcast: always interesting to hear your thoughts on where we’re at. I was particularly interested to hear your point about scripting becoming essential–it’s been clear for a while that eventually markup + style won’t survive on their own, but you’re right that that time’s almost here.
So incidentally, the old rule that sites have to work with all scripting turned off is becoming less relevant… and why not, if web standards are being used?
Simply briliant.
It great to see the web app stage being raised and heard. This is especially true for me since I’ve effectively made the jump from web sites to web apps a few years ago. Web applications are much harder to design and engineer (front-end) for because they involve so much more people and technology.
ıt is realy supper
Nice podcaste. I am in the addiction field and do much of my work on the web. The ever changing standards and the increasing utilization of scripting is hard to track but you make it easier. I use the information to help those in need of drug rehab by providing a well designed website with addiction treatment related information and resources. It is cool to have your site as a reference to help me through. Thanks.
it’s really good,thanks molly

Why isn’t Molly’s birthday a National Holiday for Web developers?
Happy birthday, Molls!
I’d love to see screencasts on this topic. Have you thought about contacting Peepcode or PragProg ?

i am from england. we love you Molly.
Thoughts, mmmmm, how about recent world events that are causing many in the web design community to lose their work, job and/or retirement savings. Real Issues.
thanks molly

I can’t believe my favourite framework has chosen to pitch itself against the webstandards movement
@Jonathan: I agree with what you have said.
@Molly: Very interesting information I wasn’t aware of. Really enjoyed it. Will bookmark your website.
Cheers
Love your blog.
Thanks everyone!
I commented on Twitter regarding Ryan’s 37 signals post. I’ll probably gather those comments up and write them into something more explicit if I have a chance to in the next few days.
