We mentioned the first JS.geo 2013 event and Peter Batty shares his
wrap-up of the event. I strongly recommend reading the full entry if
you have any remote interest in web mapping technology.

 From the entry: "D3 supports a new format called TopoJSON, which is
similar to geoJSON, but supports topology to eliminate redundancy. For

regular geoJSON). It also lends itself to robust simplification of
polygons. [...] Several presentations, including this one by Aaron
Ogle, confirmed the impression I had that the Leaflet JavaScript
mapping API has great momentum. [...] Brendan Kenny from Google gave an
interesting talk on WebGL, which brings high performance 3D (and 2D)
graphics to (most) web browsers [...]"
