4 things I learned at DemoCamp 5
One of the reasons I like DemoCamp is that each time I come away with a few cool new tech snippets (”nerdlets?”). Below are four I took away from the most recent event. For in-depth recaps of the entire event see Chris Nolan’s entertainingly caustic demo reviews and Joey DeVilla’s coverage.
1. The folks at unspace.ca have built a very intuitive and usable datagrid control and search UI. Froody.
2. BlogMatrix is doing some interesting work blending microformats with the blog paradigm. I can imagine some neat B2B applications, and I’m curious to see how the product evolves into a sustainable business. It sounds like they already have some paying customers, which is great.
3. There is room for innovation in spreadsheets and UI for tabular data. Dabble DB rocked the house.
4. Chris Nolan’s talk convinced me to kick the tires a little harder on Ruby on Rails and start using firebug.
