Internet Explorer 7: From Ajax To RSS And More: How To Take Full Advantage
The Ajax Experience
Boston · October 23 - 25, 2006
About this Presentation
How can you take full advantages of the new features of Internet
Explorer 7? You've likely already seen many of the CSS fixes the UI
changes and such, but how does IE7 affect the web developer? We'll
take a deeper look into what's changed, how it may have affected your
site, and how you can easily create you websites to work with IE7, but
not leave your visitors who haven't upgraded out in the cold.
We'll also delve into some of the new features like RSS support to your
site, and creating your own search provider, so your customers can
search your site from within IE.
Program Manager of the Internet Explorer Platform at Microsoft
Chris Wilson is the group program manager of the Internet Explorer Platform at Microsoft. He's worked on web browsers since 1993, when he co-authored the first version of NCSA Mosaic for Windows. Since 1995, he's worked on Microsoft's web platform. In this 13-year-running saga, he's inflicted good (first implementation of Cascading Style Sheets in IE) and bad (overlapping <b> and <i> tags) on the world, and figures his karma will be even by 2012 the way he's going.
In his free time, he enjoys photography and hiking with his wife and one-year-old daughter, and scuba diving in the chilly waters of Puget Sound as a PADI Assistant Instructor. With any free money, he replaces the cameras he's destroyed by taking them underwater for dive photography. Occasionally he remembers to share his thoughts on his blog.
