Its been a while since http://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/charles/scenes-from-emerging-languages-camp-2010-standing-roundtable-discussion" target="_blank we last chatted with Mark , so I was excited to get a chance to see what Marks been up to lately. As youd expect, Marks been spending a lot of time working on ways to lock down JavaScript (and the DOM, which presents a different set of problems to solve). If youve heard of Caja, then youre most likely familiar with http://code.google.com/p/es-lab/wiki/SecureEcmaScript" target="_blank Secure ECMAScript (SES) , which is part of Cajas implementation. Mark spends time here discussing improvements and experiments taking place in this realm. Tune in.

Thanks for coming on C9, Mark! Always great to talk with you. <span class="country
Recently, Channel 9 was invited to attend the great http://www.splashcon.org/2011/" target="_blank SPLASH conference . What is SPLASH? Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity . A big thanks to the SPLASH event organizers for inviting me and my camera to engage some key computer scientists and engineers in geeky, fun conversation! SPLASH is a great event! I learned a ton and met many amazing computer scientists and students. SPLASH is an annual conference that embraces all aspects of software construction and delivery, and that joins all factions of programming technologies. Since 2010 SPLASH is the umbrella for OOPSLA and Onward!
