Engaging Interfaces with AJAX and Comet

"Real-World" AJAX One- and 2-Day Seminars

Jun. 5, 2006 04:00 PM

Ajax and comet are great techniques for getting data to and from the server, But they do little to address the requirements of sophisticated web application user interfaces. Cross-component interactions, synchronization, state management and other requirements for such applications may be solved through an event-driven approach. Dojo and other toolkits significantly extend the browser-provided event models (usually limited to the DOM) to include method-to-method connections, topic/publish/subscribe models, aspect-oriented programming advice, and other advanced event techniques. This talk will compare event models across popular toolkits, and provide examples for several real-world application interface development use cases.
