Hey hey,
Thanks to those who managed to make it to the meeting last Thursday in
Sydney. I just want to say it was a lot of fun and thanks for being a
great audience.
For those who wanted a copy of the preso, or didn't make the meeting,
I've posted a (slighty cleaned up) copy here:

If you want to experiment with some AJAX yourself I highly encourage
you to steal the JS files from my demo site
(http://aviditybytes.com/resources.html), look at the HTML source and
have a play in your programming language of choice (it's really easy!).
If you want to have a play with Rails you'll also find the full source
for the demo site too (you'll need Rails installed).
Below are a couple of links that relate to some questions I was asked
after the presentation (and don't forget there's links at the end of
the PDF).
If anybody has feedback or questions please feel free to write me.
