Hotel Information

Hotel Arrangements Are Easier Than Ever!

AJAXWorld has secured special group rates at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. What could be more convenient than staying in the same hotel as the conference. A prominent landmark situated on Madison Avenue and 45th Street in midtown New York City, The Roosevelt Hotel was named in honor of President Theodore Roosevelt. The New York City hotel opened September 22, 1924 and just celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2004.

Stay with The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City and experience why this famous hotel has been called the "Grand Dame of Madison Avenue" since 1924. Convenient to Grand Central Station, JFK and Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia airports and many other New York City attractions and businesses, The Roosevelt Hotel's ideal New York City location is a dream come true. Nestled among the Empire State Building, 5th Avenue shopping and the world-famous shows on Broadway, guests are only steps away from the action found within the heart of the city that never sleeps.

To take advantage of our special rates:
Call the Registration Department at 1-888-833-3969 and give them the special conference code "
AJAXWorld Conference/SYS-CON Media Conference."

Nestled among the Empire State Building, 5th Avenue shopping and the world-famous shows on Broadway, guests are only steps away from the action found within the heart of the city that never sleeps.

Airport connections are just as convenient:

Airport                                       Distance from hotel
LaGuardia Airport                         8.5 miles (30 minutes)

Newark Liberty International          18 miles (45 minutes)



The Roosevelt Hotel is situated right where the business district meets the Theater and 5th Avenue shopping districts.

This gives you the freedom to walk to Rockefeller Center, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and scores of other famous New York City attractions.

The close proximity to New York Airports - LaGuardia and JFK International and Newark Airports, as well as convenient airport connections, help alleviate the stress of travel.

In today's cooking class you'll add to your cookbook a delicious recipe. It's quick and won't cost you a dime. I'm sure you've been in one of these situations when you have unexpected guests arriving in 20 minutes and need to make a good impression. Let's create an application that

Curl announced the beta release of Curl Nitro, the code name for an extension of the Curl Rich Internet Application (RIA) platform which offers enhanced desktop capabilities required by today's enterprises. The Nitro extension simplifies the process of installing and managing Curl appl
Is the Silverlight Adoption Rate Artificially Inflated?
Silverlight 2.0 is a freaking phenomenal RIA development environment and I would actually, at this point, put the development experience in Silverlight 2.0 above and beyond Flex. I can do more faster and have it look better and run more efficiently in Silverlight 2.0 than I can in Flex
AJAX World - Adobe Flex 4 Is Shaping Up
Adobe has published their first plan of what should be included in Flex 4 that is scheduled to release next year. Since Flex is an open source product, you have a say in this too. Obviously, there's a hope that upcoming Thermo release will bring together developers and designers. I'm c
Silverlight 2 - Adobe Flex Killer Is on Its Way!
Silverlight 2.0 kicks ass and I can't wait to start dropping more hardcore blog posts regarding it. Scott Guthrie's tutorials are a fantastic place to start. The issue I have, however, is that all of the tutorials assume you have installed Silverlight 2.0 tools for VS 2008. There is a
Early Notes on GoogleApps
Now, what Google announced is really exciting! I'm not kidding. It's even better than I hoped. Yes, it's only Python, but IBM's PC-DOS was only BASIC and Pascal when it first came out, and it didn't matter. Yeah, I preferred C, but I coded in Pascal because that's what you had to do to
Adobe Wants to Be on the iPhone and Will "Reorganize" Its Mobile and Device Business Unit
Rumor has it that in the next few weeks Adobe is going to 'reorganize' its Mobile and Device business unit where its Jobs-criticized Flash Lite lives and send the engineers to go work with the larger platform effort and Flash proper, which Jobs has also criticized. Presumably, Adobe is
AJAXWorld and Bear Stearns
This was the first time I've included into the list of the RIA players a little known product called Curl. Even though this language was created in MIT, it's mainly used in Japan. I had a chance to spend an hour with Curl folks today, and it seems that this language may be a good fit
