web development

We know what sessions people are interested in attending, we know approximately when people will be at barcamp. It should be a relatively trivial problem to calculate the optimal schedule to minimize conflicts. This can probably be done using a simple greedy approach. If we can get a drupal guru we can integrate it into the site and make it auto-update every time someone updates their attendance preferences.

We'll quickly go over how to use jQuery to do easy AJAX and javascript enabled UI development in true web 2.0 style. I'll show an example on how to add an auto-suggest text box with animated selection list and a 'quick add' hover box dialog using AJAX.
