As I watch the upcoming election news coverage on national television, it is hard for me to comprehend that half the nation has actually lost their minds. As a technology blogger I sometimes face a similar reality. When I received a reply to my email message from Leslie Tempeltan from Kapow Technologies, asking me “to remove her name from my spam list,” I could not believe my eyes.

In every industry, and in nature, the fit survives and the weak get eliminated. However, whatever the daily circumstances are, to respond to a media company with “take me off your spam list” is mind boggling. I declare this company as the “Web 2.0 Loser” of the year.

In this presentation, David Knight will discuss how the availability of an AJAX platform for aggregating and monetizing content is likely to dramatically transform the enterprise software business, with end-user companies no longer locked into a single software-suite provider for their applications. He will examine how AJAX-enabled platforms can be used to recreate the suite experience in multiple application areas, freeing companies to shop around for the best solution available or create their own application. The speaker will also discuss how AJAX can allow businesses to recreate the desktop experience and enhance worker productivity with integrated applications.

Both require you to hire scarce JavaScript developers. Google Web Toolkit — the SDK that allows you to write AJAX interfaces in Java — enables your Java developers to layer a desktop-like interface on top of your Web app. Learn to analyze the service profile of your application, to change HTML views into XML or JSON services, and to resist opening security holes by putting state and control flow logic into the client.
