The conference sold out before the sessions were announced so next year, it will move to a larger venue. <\/li>\n<li>HTML5, last year&#8217;s hot topic, was pronounced dead more than once.<\/li>\n<li> Michael Kay announced (and demo&#8217;d) <b>Saxon Client Edition<\/b> that allows you to run XSLT 2 on the browser. Very cool. <b>Saxon CE<\/b> is in alpha but available for testing at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.saxonica.com\/download\/downloadSaxonCE.xml\">www.saxonica.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>JSON seems to be hot this year. I should probably spend some time learning it, especially since I am planning to use it in the CMS we develop at Condesign.<\/li>\n<li>George Bina from <b>SyncRO Soft Ltd<\/b>, the company that makes <b>Oxygen<\/b>, presented some ideas regarding advanced XML development. While <b>Oxygen<\/b> is at the centre of many of these, his point was that there should be a standardised way to do it all. Dave Pawson suggested expanding XML catalog files for the job via Twitter, an idea I find plausible.<\/li>\n<li><span>Murata Makoto, a personal hero of mine thanks to his work with Relax NG, presented EPUB3. What those of us who were there will remember, however, is his introduction, expressing his grief over the on-going catastrophe in Japan.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xmlprague.cz\/\">www.xmlprague.cz<\/a> for more.<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.xmlprague.cz\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year&#8217;s XML Prague is over and I miss it already.
