web.next: Progressive Web Apps and Extensible Web
(Last Updated on )
Here’s the keynote talk I did at Render Conference, Oxford in April. (Slides.)
All the other talks are available. Yay!
I told the nice organising types that I wouldn’t accept the speaker fee because public speaking is my job. Rather than just pocket the money, they suggested we donate it to a worthy cause, which is very good of them.
So I asked them to send it to a rural school in Cambodia, where a friend of mine has been volunteering. They’re building a computer lab to train kids and the local people. In one of the poorest countries on earth (average salary is $80/ month) a second hand laptop at $250 is still a luxury. As someone who was a primary teacher in Bangkok, this ticks all my personal boxes: education, S.E. Asia and the web.
Thank you, Ruth and all at Render Conference.
