Kent Brewster, Netflix
Description:
Last time we wrote an API layer for a dozen different sites and services, using nothing but free online tools and client-side JavaScript. This time we'll crack into client-side OAuth. This time actual working code WILL BE WRITTEN BY YOU. This time ... it's personal. :)

Kent is the mashup guy! He did it at Yahoo and now he's doing it at Netflix. If you want to know about mashups, he's the person to school you.
