Topic: Building Web Applications With AJAX

Description:
Companies that carved out a competitive edge in the 1990’s through
innovative software applications face a different challenge in the new
millennium: their clients want instant access to these applications via
the web. When evaluating a number of equally capable software solutions, clients
are increasingly choosing web-based solutions that require no installation
on client machines and provide instant access from virtually any location.
Re-architecting an existing software solution for the web is a difficult
task given the static nature of HTML vs. the dynamic nature of most user
interfaces. The AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) technique can help
overcome the limitations of pure HTML to create feature-rich user interfaces
matching those of most client/server-based applications. This
presentation looks at the basics of how AJAX works and offers a survey of
the different toolkits that provide an AJAX platform for web
applications. We will compare and contrast the Microsoft XMLHTTP object, a
few of the AJAX frameworks currently available and the newer Atlas
framework.The talk also presents some recent web-enabled applications that
relied on AJAX for their novel approaches to web user experiences. The
emphasis will be on the practical aspects of AJAX so that attendees will be
able to use this exciting technique in their own web applications to create
powerful web-based user interfaces.
