Introducing the Open Source Media Framework (19:00 – 20:00) – Jodie O’Rourke
The idea behind OSMF is to reduce the complexity involved in developing media players (particularly video players), and in doing so, lower the barriers-to-entry to allow many more developers to create unique and engaging players. OSMF aggregates fixes for many of the problems that other developers have toiled over, meaning you can build rapidly, safe in knowledge that your output will be stable. As a business, the standardisation of player development means that new developers should be able to join your team with relative ease, and become productive in less time.

Jodie will introduce the main features of the latest OSMF build and demonstrate some examples with code.

The MooTools JavaScript Framework (20:15 – 21:15) – Alex Rogers
As interactive demands increase on the web and older web browsers still linger and continue to require support by many clients, frameworks are developed to make this possible and provide cross-browser compatibility. For developers, the framework that stands higher than the rest, is the MooTools JavaScript framework through its modular approach, Fx API, handling of AJAX request and many more reasons.

In this presentation, Alex demonstrates the power of MooTools and how he has recently used it to build a recycling message board app called dealfree.net using progressive enhancement with PHP and MySQL, to add some spice to a bespoke CMS and newsletter application, and on his own website.
