The
world-beating conference program will provide developers, IT managers,
and corporate decision makers with comprehensive information and
insight into the biggest paradigm shift in Website design, development,
and deployment since the invention of the World Wide Web a decade ago.
The next-generation user-centric Web is hurtling toward us and it is a rich-media future in which AJAX, the most talked about of all the Rich Internet technologies, is positioned firmly at center stage.
Burton
Group defines “Rich” Internet Applications as those that offer
functionality beyond standard HTML frames and hyperlinks, the most
famous examples of such functionality on the Web to date being the
AJAX-based Google Maps and Gmail.
“AJAXWorld
Conference & Expo 2006” recognizes that, while on the one hand Rich
Internet Applications (RIAs) as a category is wider and broader than
just AJAX, on the other it is indisputably AJAX that has acted as the tipping point.
This is why at “AJAXWorld” the primary focus will be on major innovative AJAX
implementations of the Google Maps variety. There will be plenty of
sessions as well as, offering education about alternate RIA approaches
– such as those being driven by Adobe, Laszlo, Nexaweb, TIBCO, and
Microsoft.
The
program will also cover in detail the other IDEs available for AJAX
that are not yet mainstream, such as JavaScript Synthesis Technology
(JST), IntelliJ IDEA 5.0, Visual GUI Builder, Backbase, and the open source Ruby on Rails framework.
Over the three information-packed days, delegates will receive four days’ worth of education, as speakers explore AJAX
and RIAs in the greater context of the overall Web 2.0 spectrum.
Delegates will also receive all conference sessions on SYS-CON.TV’s
‘very popular’ Webcast DVDs, thus, not missing a single session of this
ground-breaking event of the year.
AJAXWorld
will feature a faculty of the world’s most distinguished speakers,
including Jesse James Garrett, the father of the term “AJAX,”
who will be delivering the opening keynote. The speakers will present
more than 96 sessions, keynotes, and televised power panel discussions,
in six simultaneous tracks for two days. The call for papers for
“AJAXWorld” will remain open through July 31, 2006, at www.ajaxworldexpo.com.
Introducing AJAXWorld University’s AJAX Developer Bootcamp AJAXWorld University’s
AJAX Developer Bootcamp is an intensive, one-day hands-on training
program that will teach Web developers and designers how to build
high-quality AJAX applications from beginning to end.
Available
as part of or separately from the AJAXWorld Conference & Expo in
Santa Clara, October 3-4, 2006, the AJAX Developer Bootcamp is an
in-depth, highly practical crash course that takes students rapidly
through the paces of developing AJAX using the latest techniques,
libraries/frameworks, and best practices.
Held on October 2, the day before the AJAXWorld Conference & Expo begins, AJAX Developer Bootcamp is the premier AJAX instructional program. The curriculum is carefully designed to be the most efficient way to “fit all of AJAX
in your head” using a structured and well-organized approach to
learning about this significant new paradigm shift in Web development.
The
AJAX Developer Bootcamp will be taught personally by AJAXWorld tech
chair Dion Hinchcliffe, renowned AJAX architect, developer, author, and
speaker, who is also the founding editor and editor-in-chief of
AJAXWorld Magazine and editor of SYS-CON Book’s upcoming bestseller,
Real-World AJAX: Secrets of the Masters.
Attendees
of the AJAX Developer Bootcamp will gain a deep understanding of the
underlying principles of AJAX including DHTML, JavaScript,
XmlHttpRequest, how to build AJAX-friendly Web services including JSON,
AJAX application structure, and useful tips for debugging,
troubleshooting, and tuning AJAX applications. Knowledge of and ability
to work with HTML and CSS are a bootcamp prerequisite, as are basic
JavaScript skills.
The AJAX
method of designing Web-based software has taken the industry by storm
over the last year. Internet companies like Google have shown what is
possible (Gmail and Google Maps), and the future of Web development now
seems closely intertwined with mastery of the AJAX technique, which
results in online software that is as rich and expressive as desktop
software.
AJAXWorld University Certification Attendees successfully completing the bootcamp will get a certificate of completion from AJAXWorld University. Attendees with prior limited knowledge of AJAX are encouraged to attend AJAX Developer Bootcamp if they will be involved in the design or building of AJAX software.
Sponsorship and Exhibit Opportunities AJAXWorld will be sponsored by eight leading AJAX
and Rich Internet Technology vendors. The conference will offer exhibit
opportunities to other vendors in addition to the eight main event
sponsors, including six charter sponsors and exhibitors: Adobe (www.adobe.com), Backbase (www.backbase.com), ComponentArt (www.componentart.com), Google (www.google.com), Laszlo Systems (www.laszlosystems.com), Nexaweb (www.nexaweb.com), and TIBCO Software (www.tibco.com). SYS-CON Events
also announced that the first international AJAXWorld Europe
Conference & Expo will take place on May 7-8, 2007, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The details of the AJAXWorld Europe will be made available on Monday, July 10, 2006.
