This is bigger than open sourcing Flex. This is bigger than AIR. Here's the news: Adobe is open sourcing AMF protocol and messaging under LGPL V3. Christophe Coenraets, a Senior Flex Evangelist from Adobe, told me about this new free product called BlazeDS. While many people are using Flex for creating cool widgets that can make your Web page prettier, enterprise Flex developers have to deal with such boring things as bringing data to the client.

He then proceeded to inform, entertain, and bedazzle his audience with a witty (yet deeply insightful) 50-minute stand-up routine that was the perfect presentation to start the afternoon general sessions with. http://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/211202.htmhttp://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/211202.htm Mon, 24 Apr 2006 15:45:00 GMT 'AJAX is on course to become one of the primary application development models of the future,' Dion Hinchcliffe declared at the outset of his fact-packed presentation on AJAX Design Patterns at SYS-CON Events' sold-out 'Real-World AJAX' One-Day Seminar in San Jose, CA, today. Hinchcliffe, whose Web 2.0 blog is widely consumed Web-wide, is one of the world's foremost experts on All Things Web 2.0, and he did not disappoint: his aim, he told the audience, was to 'fit all of AJAX into your head' - and, in just 50 minutes, that's just what he did. http://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/211147.htmhttp://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/211147.htm Mon, 24 Apr 2006 15:00:00 GMT Dissatisfaction with Craigslist is what spurred Paul Rademacher to create HousingMaps.com, he explained to a packed General Session at the 'Real-World AJAX' One-Day Seminar in San Jose, CA, today.

Backbase news blog called it 'a great day, and certainly the first major Ajax Event in the World!' Today, just ten weeks on, 'Real-World AJAX' comes to Silicon Valley, to San Jose at its heart. The speaker lineup is if anything even more stellar than it was in NYC, including Google's Adam Bosworth and Paul Rademacher, Yahoo!'s Eric Miraglia, and the father of the term 'AJAX' himself, Jesse James Garrett. http://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/210482.htmhttp://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/210482.htm Sun, 23 Apr 2006 08:15:00 GMT Whether you choose any of the excellent commercial DHTML libraries (like Zimbra, Backbase, or Tibco) or a free alternative (like Prototype, Dojo, or the Yahoo User Interface Library), the fundamental challenge of USING AJAX remains that of making the user's journey from idea to information (and back again) as light, as intuitive, and as rewarding as possible. http://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/196236.htmhttp://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/196236.htm Mon, 20 Mar 2006 00:30:00 GMT David Heinemeier Hansson, the Danish-born wunderkind who featured as one of the top-billed speakers at SYS-CON's recent 'Real-World AJAX' One-Day Seminar in New York City, is described in this month's Wired as 'The Hottest Hacker on Earth.' http://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/193881.htmhttp://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/193881.htm Sun, 19 Mar 2006 12:15:00 GMT A process, not a technology, AJAX is changing the landscape of the Web. Armed with this book, you can become a part of that change.

This technology can be useful for Google, Yahoo, or Amazon, and the like. Because regular businesses can not afford it. They can not hire a team of experts to find workaround for dozens of serious problems browsers/JavaScript introduce. Browsers/JavaScript is not an application development environment. http://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/191088.htmhttp://www.ajax.sys-con.com/read/191088.htm Mon, 13 Mar 2006 06:15:00 GMT Developers from all over the world are converging today from 07:00AM in New York City's Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square to live and breathe AJAX at the inaugural 'Real-World AJAX' 1-Day Seminar.
