At the 6th International AJAXWorld RIA Conference & Expo in October SYS-CON Events is delighted to be presenting major industry keynotes from the two industry executives with overall responsibility for both of those massive richer-web initiatives: Adobe's CTO Kevin Lynch and Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft's .NET Developer Platform. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/573393.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/573393.htm Thu, 22 May 2008 12:00:00 GMT SOA has come a long way from a concept to wide-scale adoption by the enterprise at multiple layers of IT. SOA implementation at the UI layer is the latest in SOA adoption trends. SOA has manifested itself in a number of flavors such as the creation of a rich user experience by using technology like AJAX, provisioning value-added services by mashing up data from multiple sources, community-based peer-to-peer interactions, creating collective intelligence, creating collaborative platforms often catering to a trusted community, and creating modular content-based sites. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/534101.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/534101.htm Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:00:00 GMT Because AJAX moves so much application logic from the server to the client, it forces many developers to master a wider range of web technologies than ever before. To work effectively on AJAX projects, front-end developers have to concern themselves with database performance, business logic and other server-side concerns. Back-end and middleware developers, meanwhile, have to make friends with XHTML, CSS, JavaScript and a wide range of browsers. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/519876.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/519876.htm Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:45:00 GMT This session will provide attendees with an overview of the iPhone SDK, including discussion of the App Store, Apple's planned distribution channel for SDK applications. Keep in mind that the contents of the SDK and experiences while using it are covered under NDA, so be prepared for me to talk in generics and leave out specific details that might be covered by the NDA. I am planning on providing a quick introduction to Objective-C for those attendees who may have never seen it and might be worried that it will be difficult to code in (it isn't!). http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/516151.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/516151.htm Thu, 13 Mar 2008 06:30:00 GMT For the past ten years application developers have been stuck with only two desktop client choices. Traditionally, they can choose either a very thin Web-client technology implemented in HTML and CSS, or a very heavyweight thick client experience implemented using traditional client/server (C/S) technologies (e.g. Java Swing, MFC). It wasn't until the introduction of RIA technologies (e.g. AJAX, Adobe Flex, Curl, and Silverlight) and widget engines (e.g. Yahoo! Widgets and Google Gadgets) that we were given more options. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/456101.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/456101.htm Sat, 23 Feb 2008 02:45:00 GMT I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning: 'Because they can only give you answers.' Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered. From that, readers can themselves infer: where is AJAX headed next? http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/464564.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/464564.htm Mon, 18 Feb 2008 14:00:00 GMT Being held for the first time on March 18, 2008 at the historic Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, AJAXWorld Security Bootcamp is a compelling, intensive, one-day, hands-on training program that will teach Web developers, Web designers, and other Web professionals how to build secure AJAX applications and demonstrate what the best practices are to mitigate security problems in AJAX apps. It is led by one of the world's foremost AJAX security experts and popular teachers, Billy Hoffman. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/329790.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/329790.htm Fri, 14 Sep 2007 21:00:00 GMT Enterprises trying to improve business unit productivity and the reuse of IT assets continue to struggle. IT organizations have achieved some success by attacking these challenges with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), but in most cases have still only exposed small portions of the overall IT service portfolio. Much of this struggle has been to deliver a 'just enough' SOA to the business unit to improve its ability to build applications and features to get to market faster, better, and cheaper. And as we've learned, accomplishing this is easier said than done. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/421964.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/421964.htm Fri, 07 Sep 2007 15:00:00 GMT I will be teaching a one day Bootcamp course on Ajax at the AJAXWorld Conference in Santa Clara, California on September 23, 2007. Details are at http://ajaxbootcamp.sys-con.com I will be expanding the Ajax construction tools section from the Ajax Bootcamp I taught in New York at the SOA World conference. I am very impressed with TIBCO GI and Sun jMaki http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/412664.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/412664.htm Sun, 08 Jul 2007 09:00:00 GMT Can afford to take just one day off, get out of your cubicle and see what other people up to these days? Is J2EE still in favor? What's this ESB is about? Have you even heard of using Flex as a Web front end of your Java applications? Do not miss an event in NYC this Monday, that is created for people who think that they are way too busy to take several days off and spend them in the class. Just take one day off and attend the Real-World Java event. The discounted rate for this event is $395.

The biggest problem with these tutorials is that the authors are trying to explain several things at once, which is confusing. I'll try to offer you a very simple example of an Ajax application. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/233690.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/233690.htm Fri, 09 Jun 2006 13:15:00 GMT Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (AJAX) is a Web-development technique for creating interactive Web applications and is one way to develop Rich Internet Applications. AJAX programming techniques have recently created a lot of hype with their robustness and the way they create browser-based applications that are more interactive and fast. AJAX can send and receive data to and from the server without requiring the browser to refresh or reload. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/177672.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/177672.htm Thu, 02 Feb 2006 06:15:00 GMT 'We've seen the Web moving from a publishing paradigm to an e-business paradigm to an AJAX paradigm.' That is the considered verdict of IBM Software Group's CTO of Emerging Internet Technologies, David Boloker. And he's right: AJAX is here, it's growing, and it's (potentially) the biggest thing to hit the i-Technology world since Java. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/132588.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/132588.htm Wed, 21 Sep 2005 06:45:00 GMT 'Though it's been around for a while, AJAX is now a hot topic in the application developer community because it brings cross-platform rich user interfaces to web applications without having to use products like Microsoft .NET or Macromedia,' said Steve Benfield as he announced that his September 27 session at the Austin Java User's Group will be called 'Injecting Life into Boring Web Applications with AJAX.' Benfield plans, he says, to explain what all the AJAX fuss is about, dispel some myths and advise how best to take advantage of the trend. http://webservices.sys-con.com/read/128895.htmhttp://webservices.sys-con.com/read/128895.htm Mon, 12 Sep 2005 17:45:00 GMT The new Tibco General Interface 3.0 consists of two components, Tibco General Interface Framework and Tibco General Interface Builder, which together enable developers to deliver applications that run completely in a standard Web browser, the company says. This installation-free framework eliminates the need for client-side software, end-user plug-ins, ActiveX controls or Java applets.
