Our biological world changes gracefully. Our information world changes much less so. How can we embrace the inevitable technological, procedural and schematic flux that we know is going to visit upon us at some point?
Technologies don't magically become solutions. They are used within domain, design and deployment contexts. This talk will focus on the singular notion of Evolution and how it cross-cuts the distributed systems we are building.
We will focus on strategies from the Web standards space to define information systems that embrace change and handle it with relative ease.
This will include strategies for dealing with changing technologies, changing schemas and more.
