PDC 2008

We introduced the Web Sandbox at the Microsoft 2008 PDC on Monday, October 27th at 11AM.

Live Labs Web Sandbox: Securing Mash-ups, Site Extensibility, and Gadgets
Aggregating third-party capabilities and services drives Web 2.0 innovation. Developers must make trade-offs in quality of service and security to achieve rich and personalized experiences. The trade-offs threaten not only future innovation, but also existing experiences, business models, and everything that relies on mashing up data and/or functionality. Understanding and mitigating this risk is essential for all web applications. We present a prototype of an open technology for mashing up code while maintaining better process isolation, quality of service protection, and security. This will foster more efficient cross-browser development, increased mash-up innovation, and new third-party extensibility models. Join us as we discuss and showcase the architecture and invite you to get involved.

If you missed our PDC session you could watch it online as well as go through the PowerPoint deck (though the latter has placeholders instead of the interactive demos). Channel 9 also hosts a follow-up video with Scott and Dragos.
