Topics
First Session : Active Object by David Kemp

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Object

It will have a lot of overlap with a talk I gave several years ago on
“Futures”, but I figure I can make it sufficiently different to not
bore those that attended that talk.

I will even try to give a couple of examples in Ruby to perhaps
attract some Ruby lovers along

Second Session : Jaxer: The Javascript server by John Sherwood
