Ajax Developers' Day added to XTech 2006 agenda
XTech 2006 - 17-19 May - Hotel Grand Krasnopolsky - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
An Ajax Developers' Day has been added to the schedule of events
at XTech 2006. In response to the rapidly
developing world of Ajax user interfaces on the browser, XTech has put together
a day for Ajax developers to meet, discuss and learn.
Who should attend - Web developers involved in or planning the creation of dynamic
Ajax-based web user interfaces, or involved in the creation of Ajax
toolkits.
The
preliminary schedule includes:
9:00 Keynote talk (to be confirmed)
9:45 The Yahoo! User Interface
Library, Simon Willison, Yahoo!
The
Yahoo! User Interface Library is a set of utilities and controls, written in
JavaScript, for building richly interactive web applications using techniques
such as DOM scripting, HTML and
Ajax. This session will provide an overview of the library's components
and provide examples of the common problems that they are designed to handle.
11:00 OpenLaszlo as an Ajax
platform, Max Carlson
This
session discusses the upcoming plans for OpenLaszlo and how they relate to the
Ajax community at large. It includes an overview of the language, a demo of the
current Ajax support, and talks about the future of OpenLaszlo as a platform.
11:45 Hijax: Progressive
Enhancement with Ajax, Jeremy Keith
Ajax
is hot topic. Behind the hype lies a technology that can greatly enhance
websites. Those enhancements can and should degrade gracefully.
By applying the principle of progressive enhancement, you can ensure that no
visitor is left behind.
14:00 Beefy Web App seeks Sexy Ajax
stunner for interface fun and maybe more,
Simon Wistow
Coders
make apps and Designers make things usable and pretty. Yet never the twain
shall meet - which is a shame because there are good ideas out there begging
for some collaboration. This talk examines why and what can be done to rectify
this.
14:45 Developing Enterprise Applications
with Ajax and XUL,
Sebastian Schürmann
This
talk describes the daily experience of developing an Ajax Framework and
Applications for Sixt Car Rental in XUL and Javascript. It will give you an
insight in the practical lessons we learned in the last 2 Years.
16:00 Combining E4X and Ajax, Kurt Cagle
ECMAScript
for XML provides a way to use XML as a native datatype, and is being adopted by
most major players in the industry. Join Kurt Cagle as he explores how the use
of Ajax and E4X together will simplify programming web applications.
16:45 AjaX with a Capital X! , Mark Schiefelbein
Ajax
developers are relying heavily on JavaScript to make web interfaces richer. But
JavaScript has drawbacks. XML technologies such as XPath and XSLT are a great
alternative and can be used efficiently for managing Ajax-style interactivity.
The
full day for just $225, discounts available for IDEAlliance members.
