Web Pages: the new Application

On 3 May 2012, I gave a talk to the Atlanta Perl Mongers on web pages as applications. The talk is about the (not so) new model of distributed computing wherein an application can "live" in a web browser and utilize resources from one or more servers. The talk is built around a small example application for monitoring load on the web server. The slides from the talk are available for download in Acrobat (.pdf) format. The associated text files are available as a gzip compressed tar archive.
