1.
How can I make AJAX applications that easily go offline? (i.e. can work
easily and in a similar manner when not connected to the Internet.)
2.
Am I better off using an AJAX framework, a toolkit or just coding my
own Ajax/JavaScript and what are the scenarios that are best for one or
another?
3. Will JavaScript 2.0 be a success, or a dud?
4. How do make a secure AJAX application? (or what are the best practices to mitigate security problems in AJAX applications?)
5. When will AJAX development finally be easy?
John Crupi, CTO of JackBe:
1. How significant is Enterprise Mashups to you (your customers)?
2. Is AJAX commoditized or will it be soon?
3. Will AJAX be standardized in the form of widget APIs or declarative markup?
4. Is AJAX being challenged by new innovations like Silverlight and JavaFX?
5. What's the biggest browser limitation to AJAX?
Joshua Gertzen, lead developer of the ThinWire AJAX Framework
1. What are some viable strategies for preforming unit/stress testing on an AJAX Application?
2. At what point do developers need to be concerned about client-side code exposing sensitive "how-to" code?
3.
Writing complex UIs in JavaScript can lead to lots of client-side code,
so how do you scale such a design to a very large application?
4. Do we really need JavaScript 2.0? Won't it be somewhat irrelevant by the time it becomes commonplace and thus usable?
5. Is AJAX about more than just web development? Should we be campaigning to replace all desktop apps with an AJAX equivalent?
Kevin Hakman, co-founder of TIBCO General Interface:
1. Will AJAX standards emerge and succeed? Where’s the potential value and to who?
2. What’s the difference between a mashup and a composite application?
3. On what timeline will AJAX skills become commoditized like HTML skills became?
4. What would you like to see in the next releases of IE, Safari, and Firefox.
5. Will Webkit dominate mobile devices, (aka is Opera still relevant?)
Andre Charland, co-founder of Nitobi
1. How do you select an AJAX framework?
2. How do you optimize AJAX and JavaScript UIs for performance with large amounts of data?
3. How should you handle web analytics and metrics for RIA sites?
4. How do you apply user interface patterns and user experience design
to your AJAX project?
5. What AJAX development tools are available for visual development,
Next March's Conference is has been receiving higher-caliber suggestions and submissions than ever.
Is
it easy yet to make AJAX applications that easily go offline? Are
developers better off using an AJAX framework, a toolkit or just coding
their own AJAX/JavaScript? Will JavaScript 2.0 be a success, or a dud?
How can AJAX apps be made secure? When will AJAX development finally be
easy? Submissions on these and dozens of other topics have already
begun streaming in to AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East, being
held in New York City on March 18-20, 2008.
