Bret Taylor (pictured), the original author of the Google Maps JavaScript front end and the Google Maps API, will be giving the March 20 Morning Keynote at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 East in New York City. Taylor, currently Senior Product Manager for Developer Programs at Google, will be addressing the audience of developers, architects, IT managers, CXOs, VCs, analysts, business/technology journalists gathered in the Grand Ballroom of The Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan, the historic venue for the biggest Web 2.0, RIA, and AJAX event anywhere on the East coast this year.
Taylor, who also created "Ajax Cookbook" at www.ajaxcookbook.org, because he saw a void in the information about AJAX programming available on the web, was previously the Product Manager for Google Maps and Google Local for two years.
The other keynotes at AJAXWorld 2007 East are being given by Douglas Crockford, Creator of JSON, and Brad Abrams, Microsoft's Group Program Manager for ASP.NET AJAX, formerly "Atlas."
The Most Distinguished Conference Faculty of the Year AJAXWorld 2007 East features more than 100 distinguished speakers who between them represent the world's leading domain experts in designing, building, and deploying rich-web applications and solutions.
The conference offers six simultaneous tracks over three information-packed days, March 19-21.

and read a lot of
excellent things about
Bret. Unfortunately, all
Ive read were comments
about his works. Ive
never encountered first
hand any of his work or
speeches. Please help me
find one of these great
masterpieces. Ive been
dying to hear or read the
myself.

commented about Bret
Taylor before and I think
what he's done with
Google, while admirable,
is not enough to plug him
in with the Distinguished
Faculty 100. I'm not
trying to be rude or
callous or anything of
that nature. I'm simply
stating that I think it
would be best if we had
people giving speeches
who made truly innovate
changes. We're all so
caught up in Google that
we forget that these
changes they're making
aren't really all that
extraordinary. I'm not
putting down on Taylor's
work, but could we at
least get someone in the
speaker lineup who was
creating something that
changed the way we do
business on the net
forever? A map feature on
Google has not done
that...in fact, they have
quite a long way to go
with this development to
make it worthy of
contending with mapquest.

job because they didn't

project to merit their
existence so they created
AJAX so they could waste
thousands of billable
hours doing something
that could have been

is the point of going
through and deciding in
writing how things need

you're going to change
that storyboard 59 times?
Why note write down what
you want done and give it

talk it out with them?
They take notes on what
