Speaking at the Ajax Experience

February 2nd, 2006

I’m going to give a presentation on advanced user interfaces (using script.aculo.us) at The Ajax Experience which will be held in San Francisco from May 10-12th, 2006:

Ajax is giving developers and designers the power to access the back- end at any time. How and where does JavaScript and the Document Object Model fit in? How can they be used efficiently to provide next- generation form controls, sliding panels, loading-on-demand, activity indicators and
what-have-you?

Implement the next cool Ajax control using the Prototype and script.aculo.us JavaScript libraries and learn about the visual effects engine and how to best put it to use for your very own home- grown effects.

Of course, besides my talk, there are a lots of interesting presentations going on there, including world-leading JavaScript developers like Brendan Eich, Douglas Crockford and Sam Stephenson.

So, hope to see some of you in San Francisco! 🙂
