At the 38 minute mark the speaker brings up a module that is used by the dojo library to load Google Analytics faster. The snippet that he shows is a dojo version of the same type of code I posted in the Google Analytics forum for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/support\/forum\/p\/Google+Analytics\/thread?tid=6532a18d9e4f74a8&amp;hl=en\">non-blocking GA load<\/a> and later <a href=\"http:\/\/slashdot.org\/comments.pl?sid=1210703&amp;cid=27705211\">reitterated on SlashDot<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Do I think they ripped off my idea without any credit? No, I doubt that is the case. In fact looking at the <a href=\"http:\/\/docs.dojocampus.org\/dojox\/analytics\/Urchin?action=info\">Dojo Google Analytic revision<\/a> page it seems that they came up with the idea in on August 17, 2008. I don&#8217;t recall when we deployed our version at work, but it was months before I posted the version on the Google Analytics forum. Regardless, the ideas were conceived independently from one another which I find fascinating. I don&#8217;t think I am a bad programmer by any means, but I didn&#8217;t know that I was so good that the techniques I have come up were considered good enough to present to the masses. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google recently created a new site dedicated to making the Web faster.
