Kids amaze me. Here’s a video of Dmitri Gaskin giving a Google Tech Talk on JQuery. Good job Dmitri! You remind me of myself when I was 12 except, when I was a kid, 6502 assembly language and Commodore’s where the in thing for kids and not web-programming.
The only problem I have with Dmitri is that he likes PHP and Drupal. He’s only 12 though. He’ll grow out of it…

I saw him last year at Drupal BADcamp in Berkeley. He was by far the best presenter and the main reason for attending. Pretty amazing kid.
At one point, some guy challenged him about some aspect of PHP syntax. The kid politely corrected him, informing him that in whatever recent version it had changed. Too funny. Really deep understanding even compared to adults.
