Personally, having attended the event, I would think that David Heinemeier Hansson’s point about getting rid of duplicate presentation code by the means of utilising innerHTML is a very valid one. No one of us wants to build and then support rich internet applications that have one presentation layer for javascript enabled clients (by means of AJAX etc) and other layer for clients with javascript turned off.

The ideological “shift” from thinking of how to parse some propriatery XML data into nodes on the client (David made a point about “Nodes are not for people”) to just getting HTML (or XHTML) from the server and inserting that into your document with innerHTML, in my humble opinion, is something that we all should have a think about.

Providing HTML for non-AJAX capable clients and HTML for AJAX-capable clients just makes sense…

good speakers, good topics, good conference. I like to see conferences where you have visual designers, user experience, information architects, developers all in the same room, hopefully all learning from each other.
