SNTTT IV with Michel Boudreau!
Thanks to Mike and all who came!
Mike’s talk turned out to be incredibly interesting. It was over the 10m but nobody seemed to mind given how organized he was an how well he delivered it in the noisy environment at Pub 101!
Tim Inkpen sent this link to me on social stuff: http://www.resourceshelf.com/index.php?s=social+network
Also Mike gave me the source code from his demonstrations on AJAX. Anybody who wants it is welcome to contact me at Darcy@Siteware.com. Demo Code from Mike’s Talk
It wasn’t 100 percent obvious to every person but the significance of AJAX is that it allows web systems to have rich interfaces like Win32 apps. As the Internet and Social Software becomes more and more widespread, it needs to become more usable and more accessible.
Also, he emphasized that AJAX allows you to use the horsepower of the client workstations which is a significant advantage. He even described the impact it would have on your application infrastructure.
