AjaxWorld (
RSS)
I had a great time today at AjaxWorld during my talk on building a great Ajax Application from Scratch. It was fun to get out from behind the powerpoint and show some real code! For this demo, I only used freely available tools... In particular everything I show works in Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer Express . Peter Galli posts on Microsoft's general presence at AjaxWorld . The folks at sys-con already posted a quick story on my talk: Presented A No-Slides, Code Only Session at AJAXWorld Download the complete samples . Part I: CSS and HTML Designer First, I showed off what a great CSS and HTML designer Visual Studio 2008 is. For this part of the demo I didn't...
I have very excited to be going to AjaxWorld in San Jose, CA next week. I love getting a chance to get out of Redmond and talk to real-life developers and an industry wide event such as AjaxWorld gives me such a great opportunity to see what is going on in and outside of the Microsoft space. Scott Guthrie will be giving the keynote on bright and early Monday morning. If you have never had a chance to see Scott speak, you have to wake up early to catch this! Scott is a master of the demo and I know he has some great ones in cooking up for this already. I am very lucky to be following Scott with a couple of breakout sessions... I would love for these to be very interactive, some come, bring your questions and comments...
While I am bummed that I am not able to go to AJAXWorld this time, I am super excited about some of the great stuff I see going on there. Joe Stagner is going to give a killer keynote on "AJAX in the balance". Joe totally gets open source, standards and sometimes, the need for full bet-your-business 24x7 support. I can't wait to see what he does with this thing. In addition, there looks like a bunch of cool sessions: Jesse Liberty - on building Silverlight applications sessions Joe Stagner on the ASP.NET AJAX platform Patrick Ruzand on ASP.NET AJAX Controls... Robert Boedigheimer on the ASP.NET AJAX Control toolkit Dave Wright - on building Cloud Data Services with "Astoria" Dave Wolf (from Cynergy) - will talk about rich user experience on...
We got some good feedback from my AjaxWorld keynote ... If you were there, I'd love to hear your feedback, thoughts... please comment here or drop me a line ... Microsoft Not a Cathedral; Open Source Not a Bazaar NEW YORK -- It's not every day that you see a Microsoft employee demonstrating Microsoft software running natively on Linux. Yet that's exactly what happened at AJAXWorld here, as Brad Abrams, group program manager at Microsoft for ASP.NET AJAX (codenamed Atlas) did today. (Note, as Patrick says, I do over generalize the Cathedral and Bazaar concept slightly to make a point... Thanks Patrick...) "What Does AJAX Bring to the Client-Server Balance?" Asks AJAXWorld Keynoter, Microsoft's Brad Abrams Abrams came out of the gate fast, demoing...
I had a great time this morning doing the closing keynote… I talked about how great, productive Ajax application are optimized for a set of balances. Client and server, proprietary and open source, established and emerging technology, etc. The most fun for me was the demo… I started off by showing how trivial it is for a wide range of developers to incrementally Ajax enable their applications with NO client side javascript code with ASP.NET AJAX… And of course, I showed how it just magically works great in Safari on the mac. Next I showed off a little of the cool VS Orcas JavaScript work including Intellisense, statement completion and type inferencing . In the same demo I showed how easy it is to use a Dojo widget with ASP.NET AJAX… I used...
I am super excited about the fact that Microsoft is joining the Open Ajax Alliance . The ASP.NET AJAX team has long had the goal to help evolve AJAX-style development and ensure a high degree of interopablity between Ajax Frameworks and tools. But most importantly I am excited to be able to empowering web developers with technologies that work cross-browser and cross-platform. Check out Bertrand Le Roy’s blog to stay up to date on our part in this effort… Read More...
Well, I made it in to NYC early this morning for AjaxWorld … So far the conference has been very good... I am spending a bit of time honing the demos for my keynote Wednesday morning. If you are at the show, I hope you can come, I will be showing the ASP.NET AJAX , the Microsoft AJAX library and WPFE and I will be using Vista , OSX and Linux Ubuntu in the demos! In the opening keynote, Douglas Crockford asked a little about who was here.. Looks like this is the first “Ajax” experience for about one quarter of the folks here… That shows me that there continues to be lots of momentum. Interestingly enough, well over half of the folks are working on enterprise applications. That shows me that while we talk a lot about the cool, sexy consumer facing...
