Hacker, writer, dad; front-end engineer and technology evangelist for the Yahoo! Developer Network; perpetrator of the minimalist design for hackday.org, including the silly mouse-over-to-un-ROT13. Concerned mostly these days with building nothing-but-net Web apps that consume API-generated JSON feeds and show up on the client, with no proxy server in the middle. At UK Hack Day I'll be presenting Build a BBC Search Widget, which will suspiciously resemble the one I made for Wikipedia. Yes, we really will be building the thing during the space of the presentation; if you show up and follow along, you'll walk out with a working, hackable application. www.kentbrewster.com
