The November meeting for the Internet Professionals Society of Alabama (IPSA) will be on Thursday, November 1st.  The meeting will be held from 12PM to 1PM at the St. Vincent's Bruno Conference Center in classrooms two through four.  There will be designated networking time from 11:30AM to 12PM prior to the beginning of the presentation.

Dimitri Glazkov will be presenting "How HTML5 and Google Gears Are Changing the Web". Here is the abstract:

Just a year ago, it was unheard of. Now, it's a reality: a SQL server instance, running inside of your browser. Threading and isolation model. Cross-origin XMLHttpRequest. Finally, the browser is becoming the user agent for building first-class applications. Join us in
exploring the new HTML5 specification with some freshly baked code and trying to glean the future of Web.

This should be a great presentation.  I've been hearing a lot of cool things about Google Gears, but I haven't had an opportunity to explore it.  If this sounds interesting to you, be sure to come by and check it out.

I will hopefully see you there...assuming I can slip away from the office.
