For the first afternoon session, Bruce Johnson and Joel Webber discuss the Google Web Toolkit. I first encountered this in New York a couple of weeks ago and it looked cool: writing AJAX apps in Java that is compiled to DHTML and JavaScript. This is the only session room I've been in so far where I could connect to the wireless network. They have invented image bundles to avoid frequent round trips to retrieve individual images. This speeds up load time quite a bit. Googlebot hates AJAX based sites, (use NOSCRIPT) but Google is working on that.
