This is a good chance to jot down my experiences during AJAXWorld. I had braced myself to stand in front of a large room full of suits that needed to go to the conference rather than wanting to go. Turns out I was wrong. The audience was a mixed crowd of company owners, project managers, designers and developers and everybody was very involved and interested. I met a lot of companies selling developer tools like frameworks and IDEs, a few implementing companies and really surprising edge developers like someone who ran software that controls geostationary satellites!
