Skytap allows companies to run their existing applications and virtual machines unchanged to take advantage of cloud economics without a major application rewrite. The company's web services API and one-click VPN functionality allow organizations to create a "hybrid" IT model whereby cloud resources can be used and managed as an extension of existing onsite IT environments. With the introduction of the Skytap ISV alliance program, customers can now also access software from leading ISVs within the Skytap environment and gain the benefits of a pay-as-you-go model for the ISV softwareread more

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. read more

One of the nice things about using Firefox as my primary browser is that there are a lot of plugins you can use to augment the browser itself. I've been...

Many of today's (and tomorrow's) development projects lend themselves nicely to RIA application patterns. Silverlight offers a compelling RIA development experience that works on Linux, the Mac and windows as well as all major browsers. With HD video, vector based graphics and a rich set of controls including DataGrid, Silverlight offers a compelling development experience in nearly any programming language you'd like from C# and VB, to JavaScript and Python. Learn how to use Visual Studio to create applications, how to create UI using XAML markup and code, how to retrieve data from the web, and how to manipulate data with XML and LINQ. This talk uses the 100% free Silverlight runtime and Visual Studio tools.read more

RIAs provide the promise of an excellent User experience, but the ultimate success of the UX is driven more by the skill of the developer than the tool selection itself. This session will discuss the foundation and importance of the application of cognitive science techniques to the process of designing and building a rich web application. read more

The Dojo Toolkit is an open-source JavaScript toolkit that has a large community following in and out of the Enterprise. One of the many useful aspects of Dojo is the ability to extend the toolkit to incorporate new functionality. dojo.E is a set of extensions for dojo 1.1 that makes it easier to build web applications, using XML to create user interfaces, handle events, make DOM modifications, and manage state transitions. This session takes an in-depth look at the dojo.E project, including several examples of apps and widgets that were built using dojo.E. Learn about extending Dojo via new widgets and how you can use it to rapidly build your own apps. read more

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.read more

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. read more
