| Adding Animation and Media to Java Applications | ||||
 |
||||
 |
 |
|
Rich Applications has achieved a new degree of sophistication with requirements to add multimedia and animation. With the introduction of the new JavaFX SDK and Java SE 6 update N, it is possible to incorporate the newer elements of a very rich client application into new and existing Java applications. Attend this session to get a very brief overview of the JavaFX programming language and the animation and media APIs that make it possible to create some sexy looking GUIs which was hitherto difficult in Java.
After attending this session, attendees will walk away with a good understanding of JavaFX and Java SE 6 Update N and how to incorporate the features, such as audio, video and animation into their applications. They will also get an idea of the deployment options i.e. applets or applications. |

| AJAX for Oracle: Building RIAs Without Browser Plug-ins | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Enterprise developers (and users) definitely want Web 2.0 features, but unfortunately very few of them have the time to learn and keep up with the swift pace of advancement in AJAX. One approach to solving this problem is to take a bunch of AJAX features and bake them into APIs stored in a database that can be called using simple declarative markup language. In this session John Krahulec will show how the the application server middle tier can be virtualized into the Oracle database, bridging the gap between front-end rich UI and back-end data systems. |
|
| AJAX in Enterprise Portals | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Not only enterprise portals integrators are using AJAX at the portal level but now they can also use it for the development of more user-friendly JSR-168 portlets. With the arrival of new standards, AJAXified JSF Components like IceFaces to RichFaces became a reality that can be portable across the many JSR-168 portlet containers implementations, in the commercial or open source worlds. During this presentation, we will explain how this has been made possible and how one can write such portlets. |
|
| AJAX in the Cloud: AJAX Database Programming | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Cloud computing has recently grown to encompass hosted database services. The idea behind 'Database as a Service' (DaaS) is to side step the complexity and cost often associated with running your own database. Unfortunately for AJAX programmers, it is not easy to access a DaaS directly from JavaScript.
To solve security issues, AJAX apps need to talk to an intermediate server that acts as a proxy between the web client
and the database. This means that the AJAX developer has to
develop lots of server-side code that coordinates between the
proxy and the database. In addition to requiring precious
development cycles, the proxy is a performance bottleneck. In
this session we will examine some of the unique challenges faced by AJAX programmers trying to write apps in the DaaS environment. We'll also discuss a new paradigm for DaaS, aimed squarely at AJAX programmers, that shifts the database APIs into the client, and discuss its implication on everything from security to the design of the database query language.

|
| AJAX with jQuery | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
jQuery is a rapidly growing, popular JavaScript library. Its powerful and modular architecture, which emphasizes a simple yet heavily extensible API, has helped it to become one of the most popular Javascript Libraries. Because of its dead-simple plugin architecture, many even begin extending jQuery's core features within hours of first using it. This talk will demonstrate how the library works, and show you why so many users are able to build fully AJAX-enabled websites in their first day using jQuery. |
|
| Best Practices for Building Framework Products that include AJAX Features | ||||

| Beyond Widgets: What a RIA Platform Should Offer | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
RIA platforms increasingly offer an identical set of basic UI features, so how do you pick? Come and see a "short list" of capabilities that go beyond simply UI, and that a RIA platform should provide in order to be seriously considered. Rather than a fluff session about "scalability", "robustness", and the usual buzzwords, we will look at a series of concrete use cases that come up in the development of every RIA application, and the features that a RIA platform should provide to handle them.
Find out what a next-generation RIA platform can do for you - and see one in action. |
|
| BluePrints for AJAX Applications | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
While many developers traditionally specialized in the client or server centric development, we have seen the lines blur over the past few years with the emergence of AJAX. Many applications that use AJAX today have been modified to include AJAX capabilities but wouldn’t it be best to start with an AJAX centric design? This session defines the Blueprint for AJAX centric application design using JavaScript based widgets / gadgets on the client that interact with RESTful JSON based services. Topics to be covered include : exposing server resources as JSON based services including rendering JSON on the server, integrating RSS and RESTful services and exposing them to clients, choosing a client-side JavaScript toolkit (such as Dojo / Yahoo UI / jQuery / Ext-JS), integrating widget events, communicating events back to a server, and consuming JSON data across domains using JSONP (JSON with padding). This session will focus on tradeoffs and design choices a developer will make when building an AJAX application or mashup. Examples in Java / PHP / and server-side JavaScript will be used in the presentation. |

|
| Building Rich Internet Applications Using Google Web Toolkit (GWT) | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Rich Internet Applications using AJAX technology has truly improved the end user experience. But, as a developer if you are new to it, be warned: AJAX projects can quickly degenerate into a nightmare of spaghetti script. Large JavaScript technology code bases are often hard to write, read, test, and debug--not to mention the complexity of efficiently supporting multiple browsers. If you are a Java developer, you have another choice - the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). GWT is a lightweight, reusable Java technology framework that has taken a unique approach to developing Rich Internet Applications to wrangle AJAX coding issues. The Google Web Toolkit addresses code reuse, performance, multibrowser support, debugging and testing AJAX applications. This session introduces the GWT framework that might provide some food for thought for Java technology practitioners who want to build Rich Internet Applications, but do not want to face the uphill battle of becoming JavaScript language experts too. |

| Coding the UI: Lessons from ebookers and Orbitz | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
When Orbitz released a new generation of its global technology platform to power ebookers.com there were some lofty goals for the UI. They wanted to build a presentation tier (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) that would meet the goals of internationalization, accessibility, have rich AJAX interactions, and be faster and easier to develop in. This session will explore the key challenges in achieving these goals, including what worked, what didn't, and what's next. |
|
| Crafting Rich Web Interfaces | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
In every field of design one of the first things students do is learn from the work of others. They study and break down real-world examples in order to understand the underlying principles and patterns that make for successful design. Then they learn to apply these to their own set of problems. The real trick is to apply them in a nuanced manner. To be nuanced is "to be sensitive to delicate differences of style." Most of the art in crafting a rich experience on the web can be summed up with this one word - 'nuance'. In this session Scott will summarize his study of rich interaction with just six design principles. Each principle is illustrated with a set of design patterns and real world examples. Each example is broken down to tease out the nuance of good design. In addition, the not-so-good examples are illustrated as 'anti-patterns' to avoid. The six principles to be discussed are:

| Creating On-Demand Enterprise Applications for the iPhone | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
The arrival of the iPhone has heralded a new era for Internet-enabled devices; however, the device wasn't designed with the enterprise user in mind. To be successful, enterprise apps need to be optimized for the user experience and fit business requirements. In this session, Dave Carroll will demonstrate how developers using a modern Model-View-Controller (MVC) development approach provided by the Force.com platform can shape the presentation of data to a specific context and use standard web development technologies—including HTML, and AJAX—to create on-demand enterprise applications. With these technologies developers can easily add the iPhone to provide mobile access to their enterprise. |
|
| Design-based Web Application Development: The Essential New Paradigm | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Design is the single most important criterion that determines a successful web application; yet, web application development tools are totally oriented around programming and exclude designers from all but the initial stages of the development life-cycle. There is growing debate now emerging: do designers need to learn programming or do programmers need to learn design? The profound difference in these two disciplines makes such hybrid skills extremely unlikely. Time, then, for a new paradigm, where web application development is abstracted into a primarily design-focused discipline, with programmer input reduced to a relatively small, though necessary part of the process. This presentation will explore this issue in detail and, through our own company's case studies, show how, in addition to ensuring that the designer retains control throughout the development life-cycle, such a paradigm switch can demonstrably realise major benefits including: - much faster development times - significantly lower maintenance overheads Challenging the conventional wisdom of the mainstream web development community, this presentation will be of interest to anyone struggling with effective integration of design and programming. |

| Designing for and Managing Performance in the New Frontier of Rich Internet Applications | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
The industry is buzzing about the promise of Rich Internet Applications and Cloud Computing. Although these new applications and method for implementing technology offer many advantages, they also compound underlying complexity, presenting new challenges for Web and application developers as well as IT professionals who are charged with developing, testing and delivering high-performing, highly-available applications. On the Rich Internet Applications front, technologies such as AJAX and Flash deliver radically different user experiences based on rich interfaces, live data and instant feedback enabling the personalization and control users appreciate. At the same time, Cloud Computing is providing the industry a way to increase capacity and add capabilities on the fly without investing in new infrastructure, training new personnel or licensing new software. As enterprises consider deploying next-generation applications and implementation models, they need to be aware of how Web performance will be impacted through increased complexity and dependence on the Web. Being able to test and monitor Rich Internet Applications, especially as they are deployed in the cloud, will be critical to success. In this session, Ben Rushlo will examine discuss performance issues Web developers will face as they look to develop Rich Internet Applications and utilize Cloud Computing. Rushlo will cover how to combat these issues to minimize potential downfalls and ensure optimal performance through testing and monitoring. |

| Enterprise RIA – Real Examples and Lessons Learnt | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
With the web as the new platform, it’s very clear that client-server application architecture of yesterday must migrate to the Rich Internet Applications (RIA) of tomorrow. This new RIA platform yields significant improvement to the user experience (UXP) while lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). We will present several cases of real deployment (using Curl RIA Platform) by large customers and discuss the lessons learnt - such as demands for robust scalability, high security, and super high performance. The need for very flexible architecture and agile development will also be covered. Attendees will learn the requirements to build an enterprise-class RIA, why and where many current RIA technology platforms fall short, as well as what the development environment to build these applications should include. The end result will show how many organizations have started realizing the benefits of Enterprise RIA. |
|
| Evolution of Enterprise Application Architecture | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Enterprise applications, as we relate to them today, are very complex distributed systems containing multiple tiers. The evolution into our modern architectures followed product lifecycle developments in response to the shortcomings of the prior product line. This session will briefly describe this evolution and describe where DuLac see the direction of enterprise applications headed. From central computers with terminals, to client server, to 3 tier, and ultimately N tier architectures - our enterprise applications have constantly evolved.
Today we have added SOA to the N tier stack in anticipation of the net step. With the advent of RIA and Web 2.0 the vision of tomorrow's architecture is in view. |

| Get "Rich" Quick: Rapid Prototyping for RIA with ZERO Server Code | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Static HTML wireframes are no longer sufficient to prototype today's rich internet applications (RIAs) built on syndicated content, widgets, DOM manipulation, AJAX calls, and often a substantial amount of custom JavaScript. What if you could build the user interface prototype in a matter of days or weeks without a single line of server-side code or even a datamodel? What if the business owner could not only play with this prototype, but also provide context specific feedback seamlessly while exploring the prototype? Finally, what if the prototype wasn't a prototype at all, but was the actual user-interface of the final product (zero throwaway code)... even if you haven't decided which server-side technology you want to use (Java, .Net, Ruby, PHP, Python, Perl)?
We do. You can. Come learn. |

| HTML 5, WebSocket, and Comet - The Future of the Web | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
There are several innovations within the HTML 5 specification that will forever change the direction of the web, and one in particular - WebSocket - that will revolutionize the way we develop and deploy web applications. Until now, bi-directional browser communication has been an elusive goal of the Comet community, usually achieved with an assortment of hacks. However, with recent updates to the HTML 5 specification, developers can now use a full-duplex communications channel that operates over a single socket. The HTML 5 WebSocket enables communication from the browser to any TCP-based back-end service (for example, JMS, JMX, IMAP, Jabber, and so on). For example, it is now possible to avoid convoluted architectures by simply channeling certain protocols to the browser over HTTP and web applications can now be deployed without the need for a traditional web server.
This session will provide an in-depth look into the use of HTML 5 WebSocket and the techniques and technologies required to build Comet applications with it. Additionally, the speakers will discuss the trade-offs between emerging de jure standards (such as HTML 5's WebSocket) and de facto standards such as the Bayeux protocol. Furthermore, the session will cover the server and network architecture that powers an event-driven web application. Attendees will be introduced to the technologies and requirements for delivering scalable, real-time Comet web applications, and, most importantly, to the pitfalls they may face in the process.

| IA and RIA - You Know More Than You Think You Do | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
For the last couple of years, there has been a lot of giddiness around the creation of Rich Internet Applications or RIAs. Their fluidity, animation and ability to present and manipulate large amounts of data makes them readily appealing to businesses that want to go beyond the linear processes that HTML websites offer. They are becoming more common and the demand from clients is increasing. What’s the buzz about? In this session Travelocity's Principal Information Architect will share his experience and some things he has learned about RIAs that validated much of what he already knew.
The session will discuss both process and dynamics. Polansky will look at how some things will stay the same and some things will be different. He’ll discuss some built-in advantages when it comes to planning and usability testing as well as give a few tips on things to help you work with designers and business owners. Attendees will also get a free Visio stencil with transition icons for key-frame models.

| Implementing AJAX Components with the .NET Framework | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
After many years of rigid, techie, and limited web based user interfaces the industry has quickly grown fond of AJAX for delivering more dynamic, user-friendly web-applications. Microsoft's response to the AJAX momentum is ASP.NET AJAX. This talk illustrates how graphical components such as a diagramming component can benefit from ASP.NET AJAX to deliver sophisticated user interactions. Ed Kiraly will share his experience in developing editing diagramming capabilities using ASP.NET AJAX.
These techniques have been studied and extensively used by ILOG's .NET team who created a suite of visualization components integrated with MS Visual Studio using them. |

How do you bring the power of AJAX- and Flash-based user interfaces to the world of enterprise developers? Oracle has over 5000 developers working on creating enterprise applications as well as products with Web UI - teaching each one of them the in and outs of AJAX wasn't a possibility. Instead Oracle adopted JSF and the component based approach to simplify user interface creation .
In this session we will review the various type of components offered by Oracle ADF Faces Rich Client Components and demonstrate how we simplifies advance layouts, client side validation, client to server communication and other aspects for the enterprise developer. Learn how these components can help you be more productive.

Speaker: Senthil Krishnapillai Director of Product Management Sybase iAnywhere Track: iPhone Developer Summit |
|
|
|
Since the iPhone was first introduced, there has been growing interest from end-users to use the device within the enterprise as a business tool. Users are relying on their iPhones to drive time-sensitive business processes - moving beyond basic e-mail to mission-critical applications. To meet this demand, developers need to not only ensure that users have "always-on" access to data, but that enterprise proprietary information hosted on the iPhone is secure. This session will focus on how to provide iPhone users a rich user experience in the enterprise, while reducing potential security threats, including those from hackers, viruses, firewalls and spam. Delegates will learn about:

| Interoperable AJAX Tools and Mashups | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
This session describes current work at OpenAjax Alliance around AJAX tooling and AJAX mashups. AJAX developer tools have been hampered by lack of interoperability among various IDEs and AJAX toolkits. This session introduces a new XML industry standard, OpenAjax Metadata for AJAX Libraries, designed at OpenAjax Alliance's IDE committee by representatives from Adobe, Aptana, Eclipse/ATF, and Microsoft Visual Studio. This standard will result in plug&play between AJAX IDEs and toolkits.
The second major topic in this session focuses on mashups. Mashups have the potential for revolutionizing the way Web applications are developed where users create their own applications, but there are interoperability challenges and security risks. In order to unleash the industry, OpenAjax Alliance has developed an open source secure mashup framework as part of OpenAjax Hub 1.1 (leveraging a set of techniques called "SMash" that were originally developed by IBM Research and allows for secure mashups that run in today's browsers) and a companion set of widget standards (OpenAjax Metadata for Widgets). |

| iPhone in Action: Web Development or SDK? | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
There are two distinct ways to develop applications for Apple's iPhone, the top tech gadget of the year. Programmers can choose to create optimized web applications using web languages, or to write native programs using the iPhone SDK. Rather than seeing this as an either-or proposition, developers should consider the choice a continuum and pick the right tool to create each individual program. With iPhone web applications, programmers can enjoy all the advantages of the Internet, including ease of development and deployment, speed of updating, and off-line server access. Meanwhile, with iPhone native applications, programmers can immerse themselves in a sophisticated development environment, dig deep into an object-oriented language, and access the iPhone's built-in utilities, like its accelerometers and its GPS. This talk will highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each style of programming and discuss ways to hybridize them, creating integrated projects that utilize the best of both worlds. |
|
| It's 11 p.m., Do You Know Where Your Queries Are? | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Object-relational mappers such as Hibernate, LINQ, and Rail's ActiveRecord can greatly simplify creating database-backed web applications. These tools do such a good job of abstracting the database, that is possible to create very complex web applications without ever considering the database at all!. Unfortunately, ignorance is not always bliss. When naively programmed, seemingly trivial application code can cause inefficient queries at best, and scalability and concurrency nightmares at worst. This talk will show that while ORM's provide tremendous power and speed, it is still very important to know what is going underneath the comfortable abstraction layer the ORM provides. Examples will include identifying client-side joins, concurrency problems, and scalability issues. Key Topics in this session will include: What ORMs are, and why you would use them Why remaining ignorant of your database is a recipe for disaster How to successfully use ORMs without sacrificing database performance How to identify scalability and concurrency problems

| JavaScript: The Good Parts | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
JavaScript is a language with more than its share of bad parts. It went from non-existence to global adoption in an alarmingly short period of time. It never had an interval in the lab when it could be tried out and polished. JavaScript has some extraordinarily good parts. In JavaScript there is a beautiful, highly expressive language that is buried under a steaming pile of good intentions and blunders. The best nature of JavaScript was so effectively hidden that for many years the prevailing opinion of JavaScript was that it was an unsightly, incompetent abomination. This session will expose the goodness in JavaScript, an outstanding dynamic programming language. Within the language is an elegant subset that is vastly superior to the language as a whole, being more reliable, readable and maintainable. |

| Mobile Software: How Truly Open is 'Open' | ||||
|
||||
Speaker: David Schlesinger Director of Open Source Technologies ACCESS Systems America Track: iPhone Developer Summit |
|
|
|
As the world evolves into a more mobile, interconnected, open Internet society, the software and services enabling this trend towards mobility and convergence are also evolving. Mobile phones, which only a few years ago were used mainly for voice, are becoming smarter, with advanced platforms that enable these phones to be Internet-savvy communications and media devices. But the term "Open" can mean a lot of things, and the differences between one "open" and another can be significant. This talk will examine the various aspects and uses of the term "open" as it relates to the current evolving mobile software space. Where does open source code make sense? Is simply being open source sufficient? Does openness necessarily mean fragmentation, and if so, what's the best way to forestall that? There are many platforms based on open source code to greater or lesser degrees, many "open development platforms" and a number of initiatives--LiMo, LiPS, GNOME Mobile, the Open Handset Alliance, and others--dedicated to putting open source software, in various forms and to various degrees, on mobile devices. What are the differences between them? Are they competitive or cooperative?
This discussion will describe the landscape, identify the players and contrast the approaches being taken, comparing their strengths and weaknesses and describing the opportunities and challenges in the mobile space for the open source community.

| Network Health Monitoring as an RIA | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
As cloud computing becomes the norm, it's more important than ever to keep up-to-the-millisecond tabs on the health of network resources. While there are a number of technologies used for monitoring with desktop solutions, we haven't seen a large scale migration of these monitoring applications to the web. This has been due to the fact that conventional browser technology is ill-suited to the demands of real time monitoring and notification. This session will feature a new breed of Open Source RIA technology that provides easily integrated real-time metrics on virtually any network service. The demo presented in this session includes an AJAX-based visualization of the real-time network status, and doesn't depend on any proprietary browser plugins. |

| Preparing Your Brand for the Mobile Web Experience | ||||
|
||||
Speaker: Evan Gerber Principal Consultant, Experience Design Molecular, Inc. Track: The Future of the Web |
|
|
|
As the mobile web matures, we see more and more people running around airports with their mobile devices in hand, searching for hotel rooms, reading the news, or just playing video games. People are more connected with their mobile phone today than any other electronic device they use. What was once a nice-to-have is now the norm, and is quickly becoming an integral part of our culture and society. But how do you connect with users through mobile websites and create exceptional experiences that are both functional and captivating? During 2007, Molecular conducted a unique research project which sought to explore, analyze, and understand how users are interacting with the mobile web. More specifically, this exercise looked to understand what users expect from their applications, identify common usability mistakes, and recognize emerging design patterns in the mobile Internet. This presentation will share some of Molecular’s findings, and discuss the impact for companies seeking to promote their brand on the mobile web. Usability expert Evan Gerber will provide insight on what these learnings mean for the future of the mobile web and how you can apply it your business and improve your mobile marketing success. Attendees will learn: • What are the common weaknesses of the mobile interface, and how to avoid them • Best practices for creating an engaging and memorable interface on handheld devices • Critical differences between the mobile Web and traditional web experiences • Common problems inherent in current mobile design • How users perform tasks on handheld devices |
| Pushing Data to the Browser with Comet | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
This session is an introduction to Comet and Bayeux. Comet is the ability to push information to the browser from the server. AJAX can be used to allow the browser to request information from the web server, but does not allow a server to push updates to a browser. Comet solves this problem. We will discuss AJAX polling, long polling, and Streaming. Examples will be given using Jetty, Maven and Dojo. In-depth details of the Bayeux protocol and Comet implementation will be given. |
|
| Razor - A New Approach to Optimize Web 2.0 Applications | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
This session introduces a new approach to tune and optimize the performance of JavaScript-based Web applications. This new approach, called razor, significantly goes beyond any current performance optimization techniques such as code minimization. By analyzing both the static lexical information as well as the dynamic runtime behavior of a web application, razor is able to reduce the footprint of typical AJAX applications by 50% to 80%, lowers download time, minimize the number of round trips, and increase runtime performance. Further, razor is fully automated. Developers do not need to do any special coding in order to utilize this technique.
In this session, we will go over general AJAX optimization techniques, then explain what the theory behind razor is, and show demonstrations of how it is used in the real world. Demo applications based on Dojo, ExtJs and jQuery will be included. |

| Replay, Insight and Visibility of AJAX Applications with Tealeaf's Infrastructure and UI Capture SDK | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Replay, Insight and Visibility of AJAX applications is a challenging problem because AJAX requests/responses come from/to the same URL and the DOM is updated dynamically. Tealeaf’s solution combines Passive Capture (PCA) of HTTP/HTTPS traffic, RealiTea Viewer (RTV), and UI Capture SDK to provide visibility and replay of AJAX applications.
Tealeaf’s UI Capture is a JavaScript SDK that captures user events on pages that may trigger AJAX updates. Captured user events are posted in XML to a “dummy” page on the server and captured by the PCA. RTV replays the AJAX application by matching captured user events with the AJAX requests/responses. |

|
As any successful marketer knows, understanding customer needs and designing an experience tailored to those needs contributes to the overall success of the product. Whether the portal is private, such as an intranet-based reporting tool, or public, such as an enterprise application delivering time-sensitive data over the web, user experience needs will be similar. Recognizing these needs and incorporating them into the portal design will give users reasons to want to shop with confidence.
Using the analogy of a retail giant, this session will provide some guidelines for creating a rich User Interface for reporting portals, providing a no-pain, all-gain customer experience.

| RIAs: 'Flying Pixels' and Enterprise Applications? | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Rich Internet Applications have become ubiquitous to the point that many of us rely on them for daily activities. But there's a big difference between consumer websites and enterprise-class applications. While new browser capabilities provide a richer look and feel for consumer sites, they also facilitate mission-critical enterprise applications that deliver improved functionality, richness and end-user productivity. This session will explore various approaches to building RIAs and the pros and cons of each. As part of his review, Jeremy Chone will outline seven practical tips for bringing RIA to the enterprise. |
|
| Scaling the Synchronous Web | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Meebo serves billions of instant messages each day. A typical message begins with a user typing within the browser, the JavaScript client delivering the typed message to a Meebo web server, the web server connecting to the corresponding network protocol, and then ends with a final confirmation response returned to the user's client... all within 100 milliseconds.
Holding millions of connections for days at a time is not something web servers have been designed to facilitate. Furthermore, the browser does not naturally lend itself to Meebo's high-performance desktop-like web applications. This talk will describe the bottlenecks, hurdles, and showstoppers that the Meebo engineering team encountered while creating one of the most difficult, scalable, non-blocking synchronous messaging applications on the web. |
|
| Scaling Web Apps to Meet the iPhone Challenge | ||||

| Server-Side JavaScript with Project Phobos | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Phobos is a lightweight, scripting-friendly, web application environment that runs on the Java platform. Using Phobos, you can take advantage of the benefits offered by scripting languages and leverage the power of the Java platform. Being scripting-friendly, Phobos provides a programming environment that fosters rapid application development. The primary language supported by Phobos is JavaScript, which Phobos supports using the Mozilla Rhino scripting engine. |
|
| Server-Side, PHP-Generated AJAX | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
As web-based applications are pushing the "Rich User Experience" envelope, AJAX is quickly becoming a standard front-end for any PHP application. But unfortunately as PHP applications that utilize AJAX are being forced to morph from two-tier to three-tier architectures, pushing code to the client adds inherent issues with security and code maintenance. New techniques are being developed which focuses on server-side generated AJAX, allowing developers to code AJAX applications in PHP instead of JavaScript. This session will discuss and demo many of these new techniques which will allow for the development of rich, AJAX user experiences without needing to code any JavaScript whatsoever. |
|
| Slow Cool Ain't Cool: A Real User-Centric Approach to Managing AJAX Application Performance | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Gartner predicts that by 2010, 60% of new applications will be Rich Internet Applications (RIA) with AJAX as the dominant development platform for interactive Web applications. Instead of sending distinct pages to the browser, AJAX relies on proven technologies (like XHTML, JavaScript, XML, etc.) to achieve a continuous flow of data to update the page— creating a richer experience for the end user, but limiting the effectiveness of existing Web performance monitoring techniques. This talk will examine the shortcomings of existing Web monitoring techniques, and propose a new holistic approach to managing the performance of AJAX-based Web applications. |
|
| Spice Up User Experience with Silverlight | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Microsoft introduced Silverlight as cross-platform, cross-browser, next generation RIA solution. This session will use real world implementations to show you how to build a Silverlight application from start to finish, as well overall strategy why we should or shouldn't use Silverlight. No matter whether you have LAMP, ASP.NET or Java web application, you can take advantage of Silverlight to impress your user with the "Wow" effects. |

| Taking a Peek: How People Really Use the iPhone | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
The iPhone provides a revolutionary new interface and a whole new paradigm for application developers. But how do people - from everyday Joes and Janes to iPhone aficionados - actually use the iPhone? Is everyone pinching and swiping and tilting away equally? How important is usability, or look and feel, and the use of iPhone-specific interactions? What's the expectation around pricing for iPhone apps? We're currently doing in-depth, one-on-one research with iPhone users to answer these questions and more, just in time for the iPhone Developer Summit. |
|
| The Beauty of JavaScript | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
JavaScript is one of the most interesting and misunderstood programming languages in common use today. Most developers will go their entire careers without realizing its full potential. It's not often that you get a language that supports the feature set that JavaScript does, while still being as widely deployed. This talk will spotlight some some patterns surrounding JavaScript's most elegant features such as closures, lambdas, object and array literals, object prototypes, private members and dynamic scope resolution -- all without boring you to tears. |

| The Networked Application Pattern: An Emerging RIA Development Design Pattern | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
The Networked Application is an emerging design pattern in Rich Internet Application development. The crux of the pattern is to push all user interface code to the client. The client "downloads" the application, and the application then communicates to one or more servers. This session will explain the motivations of the pattern, and look at how it can be implemented using specific AJAX toolkits such as Google Web Toolkit, Yahoo User Interface Library, and Dojo. We will also talk about how the pattern can be implemented using AJAX alternatives such as Flex and Silverlight. |

|
| User Generated Content: Developing UGC Sites that Scale | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
User Generated Content sites (e.g. YouTube, Flickr, etc.) require a different approach to implementation strategy versus the more traditional web development models. Attention must be paid to scalability, storage, content distribution, digital rights management, reporting and monetization. This session will focus on these challenges and the various solutions available to developers to help address them. We will discuss latest technology innovations (for example Amazon Web Services) that make it easier to build such sites today. |
|
| Using Comet to Create a Two-Player Web Game | ||||
|
||||
|
|
|
Comet (a.k.a. AJAX Push) is a technology that enables web clients and web servers to communicate asynchronously, allowing real-time operations and functions previously unheard of with traditional web applications to approach the capabilities of desktop applications. Using AJAX and Comet, this presentation walks through the process of creating a simple tic-tac-toe game in which two people play while other people can watch the game via their browser. The session involves creating a simple game playable in one session and then stepping through the process of adding back-end capabilities that enable it to be used in a two-player, distributed way. The presentation is aimed at newcomers to Comet, with lots of slides of example code. Some basic knowledge of AJAX is required for the session, but no knowledge of Comet is assumed. The finished product will be available for download after the session. This talk discusses APIs that are specific to the GlassFish Application Server; however, the general concepts are applicable to any server-side Comet implementation. Also, we'll briefly cover the new support for asynchronous communications in Servlet 3.0, which will be a part of the Java Enterprise Edition version 6. |

Often called the Semantic or Pervasive Web, Web 3.0 brings a level of artificial intelligence to transform the Internet from a searchable catalog to a personal guide that can reason in a human-like fashion and provide users with more services and options for social networks. This session will map out the world of Web 3.0, exploring the unique benefits for end users, as well as opportunities for businesses. Using specific examples, Jon Doyle will demonstrate how Web 3.0 will change the way users interact with the web from planning and booking an entire vacation to automatically scheduling doctor's appointments based on personal preferences. |

Nearly every serious programming environment has sockets for networking. WebSockets bring socket programming to JavaScript and the Web. In doing so, they eliminate much of the unnecessary complexity from real-time Web applications. WebSockets promote client-server architectures in which the browser is a first class participant with unobstructed access to chat, enterprise messaging, and other back-end systems.
This session will explain how to write network clients for the Web and how this differs from both the traditional AJAX/Comet approach and current desktop network programming.
