Former co-worker and all around good guy Jonathan Sharp gave a presentation at The Ajax Experience about a project that he developed, and subsequently passed onto me around 3Q2008. A custom built UI component library based on jQuery, used by 450+ developers on 80+ internal and external web applications. You wouldn’t think it, but railroads have pretty large IT departments. This presentation was posted on Ajaxian this week. Enjoy!
