Triangle Java Users Group Presents:
Turning Boring Web Applications into Rich Internet Applications with AJAX
presented by Steve Benfield and Sriram (Ram) Venkataraman
Monday, July 18, 2005
6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
4001 E. Chapel Hill-Nelson Highway
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
Abstract:
AJAX is hot hot hot. The techniques of AJAX (Asynchronous _javascript_ + XML) have been under our noses for years but in the past few months the term has spread across the web development community like wildfire. Is AJAX for real or will it wind up in the architect's junkpile like Entity Beans? Will AJAX fulfill user's desires to have web applications that are as responsive as their existing client/server applications?
In this session we'll cover how AJAX works, discuss architectural considerations for building AJAX-enabled applications, see real-world AJAX examples, discuss using AJAX for returning dynamic data vs. dynamic GUI elements, cover emerging AJAX frameworks. We'll end with a demonstration and comparison of an AJAX enabled business application vs. a traditional HTML app. Finally we'll discuss what our team had to consider and some of the pitfalls we found when it came to implementing our own AJAX framework.
