Bio
Scott Davis is the founder of ThirstyHead.com, a consulting company specialized in Groovy and Grails solutions, and the co-founder of the Groovy/Grails Experience conference.

About the conference
Strange Loop is a developer-run software conference. Innovation, creativity, and the future happen in the magical nexus "between" established areas.

Of particular interest are new directions in data storage, alternative languages, concurrent and distributed systems, front-end web, semantic web, and mobile apps.

    Thanks for the excellent presentation! I wish every speaker showed such enthusiasm. I'm concerned about some of the security aspects regarding the storage and geo-location but that is always a concern with new things. The evil advertising groups are probably busy finding holes to exploit to sell "pharmies".
    I've been using basic CSS3 selectors and css3 shadows for a few months now but in moderation. They seem rock solid and are a life saver. Haven't had a chance to delve into the more interesting new goodies.

    P.S.
    I thought of boulter.com/blog/2004/08/19/performant-is-not-a... when Mr. Davis used performant [sic]. I personally don't get irked by the use of the word but I think it depends on who is speaking. Maybe in a few years it'll be considered an official word since when used, everyone knows exactly what you mean.
