The Spread of AJAX Makes the Spread of Wildfire Look Slow, Say Experts

2006 will shortly be one-third over, and throughout its first 4 months, SYS-CON Media's passionate coverage of the i-Technologies that are increasingly shaping our businesses, our education, our society, and therefore our lives has remained consistent. We have added AjaxWorld Magazine, along with Web 2.0 Journal; and we have redoubled our effort to offer high-quality education nationwide through SYS-CON Events such as the "Real-World AJAX" series of seminars (in March, April, June, and October) and our innovative conference program: SOA Web Services Edge 2006 Conference & Expo, Enterprise Open Source 2006 Conference & Expo, and AjaxWorld(TM) Conference & Expo 2006.
The AjaxWorld(TM) Conference & Expo series recognizes that, while on the one hand Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) as a category is wider and broader than just AJAX, on the other it is indisputably AJAX that has acted as the tipping point. No sooner had we finalized plans for the inaugural event - at the Santa Clara convention Center, October 3-4, 2006 - than popular demand from our international subscribers and sponsors has spurred the launch of the first first international AjaxWorld(TM) Europe Conference & Expo (www.ajaxworldexpo.com) will take place on May 7-8, 2007, in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
"The spread of AJAX makes the spread of wildfire look slow" - that, in a nutshell, was the concerted opinion of the welter of experts we consulted on the burning question, What Makes AJAX So Special?
ERIC PASCARELLO, co-author of the bestselling book Ajax in Action and the author of JavaScript: Your Visual Blueprint for Building Dynamic Web Pages:
"Ajax is big for one main reason: it is not server platform dependent. I can write a JavaScript front end that can talk with PHP, Java, .NET, ColdFusion, etc. That is why Ajax is getting so much attention. You have all of these developer groups that usually taunt each other working in the same area! If it were just dependent on one serverside framework Java or .NET, I do not think it would have been so big."
