The emergence of Web 2.0 technologies and the iPhone experience have shown that great user interface design makes a big difference. The era of primitive HTML websites is over, and Fortune 500 companies are speedily wising up to the fact.
On the Web, the new priority is innovation and optimizing the user experience and the Rich Internet Applications tools and platforms that encourage and support superior user experience are fast becoming an enterprise requirement for business survival and success.
But the days when AJAX is the only game in town are over, and the 6th International AJAXWorld Conference & Expo in San Jose, CA, on October 20-22, 2008 is your chance to come and see it and hear it for yourself.
Because it's easy to misjudge priorities and invest in the wrong technology, AJAXWorld will help you invest in the right one for your particular business. It will help you find the optimal balance between business needs, technology potential, and enhanced user experience. AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 West is where you can find what you're going to need for business survival and Web success in 2008, 2009 and beyond.
AJAXWorld's 90+ technical sessions, Keynotes, Power Panels and General Session Demos will help you determine which Rich Internet Technology will provide the most meaningful impact in your business, organization or service. The conference program aims to inform and inspire you toward the detailed implementation plan that you're going to need in the next 12 months in your own initiative whether that's SaaS, financial services, healthcare, enterprise portals, ISV applications, or whatever.
The Expo floor additionally will allow you to follow up on the premier solutions already available and to choose which best suits your needs.

The web needs fixing. The standards and recommendations that define
the web were last revised in 1999. Since then, the web has grown from a document
retrieval system into an application delivery system. It is overly complex, visually
underpowered, and hopelessly insecure. Plus it is now under competitive assault by new
proprietary platforms that hope to capture the next generation of applications. Can a
system as large and as open as the web heal and adapt itself to the challenges of the
21st Century?

Master Native iPhone Application Development at AJAXWorld
2008 East
After the resounding success of the
first-ever iPhone technical sessions at AJAXWorld on the West coast in September '07,
SYS-CON Events has great pride in announcing that the world's first-ever 100%
dedicated 2-day iPhone
Developer Summit will be an integral part of the AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008
West in San Jose, CA (October 21-22, 2008).
The groundbreaking track is chaired by iPhone Developer's Journal editor-in-chief
Kevin Hoffman. The release of the Apple iPhone and the iPod Touch has renewed interest
in computing devices controlled with direct hand input (either by touch and/or pen),
putting "gesture-based" interfaces squarely onto the menu of what developers want to
learn more about. For more information, click here
