    Presenters Note

    Sep 21, 2007 5:38 PM by Scott Delap

    Just as a note to readers, this presentation is from London QCon. Since that time we have seen the continued development of technologies such as Google Gears and Adobe AIR. As I've said during each time that I have given variations of this presentation over the last 18 months ... "if something is impossible today, it is likely it will be possible tomorrow".
