Sean Cribbs from Riak will be the opening keynote! His keynote, HTTP: The Good Parts, will explore interesting and powerful ways to enhance interaction and efficiency when developing applications. Sean will leverage his 10 years of experience as a developer to provide insight into HTTP features and how you can tap into them more declaratively.
