Yahoo!'s Eric Miraglia Joins Real-World AJAX Faculty on April 24 in San Jose

April 3, 2006; 04:03 AM
Eric Miraglia will present a session on Advanced Javascript Utilities and Widgets during the Real-World AJAX Seminar, to be produced by SYS-CON Events at the San Jose Hilton on April 24. Miraglia, who hold s Ph.D. in what he calls the "strange hybrid discipline of Technology and Rhetoric," is recognized as one of the world's leading experts on his seminar topic.

He works for Yahoo's Presentation Platform Team, and plays a critical role in helping product teams realize their forward-reaching development goals. He also teaches regular classes for Yahoo web developers. Eric has been involved in the creation of social web applications since 1995, when he began developing interactive writing spaces for universities; his Speakeasy Studio & Café was used by more than 100 universities between 1997 and 2004.

Since 2003, he has been a part of Yahoo!'s web development community. When he's not trying to convince pixels to do what they're told, he can sometimes be found at Stanford University, where he teaches writing as a visiting lecturer.

The first Real-World AJAX event took place on Monday, March 13, 2006 in New York City featuring 15 speakers in 11 sessions, including the world’s most renowned AJAX experts. Seminar attendees also got a chance to hear from leading AJAX technology companies with presentations of their real-world AJAX solutions and accompanying Q&A discussions.

More than 400 delegates attended and more than 15,000 SYS-CON.TV viewers tuned into the simulcast of the March 13 event, which Bacbase news blog calls "It was a great day, and certainly the first major Ajax Event in the World."

“By now there isn't a software developer on earth who isn't aware of the collection of programming technologies known as AJAX,” said Jeremy Geelan, group publisher and editorial director of SYS-CON Media. “But you can't bank awareness. So, how in concrete terms can you take advantage in your own projects of this newly popular way of delivering online content to users without reloading an entire page? How soon can you be monetizing AJAX? This "Real-World AJAX" One-Day Seminar aims to answer these exact questions. Led by "The Father of AJAX" himself, the charismatic Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path, "Real-World AJAX" has one overriding organizing principle: its aim is to make sure that delegates fortunate enough to secure themselves a place before they're all sold out will leave the seminar with a sufficient grasp of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML to enable them to build their first AJAX application on their own when they get back to their office.
