Adam Sah, Architect of Google Gadgets, To Speak at AJAXWorld

Google Gadgets and Componentized Websites

The architect of Google Gadgets and the Gadget Content Directory, serial entrepreneur Adam Sah (pictured), will give a session at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 East in New York City on "Google Gadgets and Componentized Websites." AJAXWorld 2007 East is taking place at The Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan, and 1000+ developers, architects, UI experts, IT managers, VCs, analysts, and interested generalists are expected to attend what will be the biggest east coast conference ever devoted to AJAX, RIAs, and Web 2.0 issues.

Sah is the quod erat demonstrandum of why Google, which hit the Enterprise Open Source headlines by making the Google Web Toolkit 100% open source, has a reputation for accommodating the lion's share of the planet's best software-development minds. Prior to Google, he was a founding engineer at several startups, among them Inktomi and Sensage, where he is a member of the board. He holds several patents in databases and web systems.

In their first year, Google Gadgets have exploded in popularity, with thousands of gadgets used by tens of millions of users every week, and have become an important distribution platform for content and application providers. Sah's presentation will introduce Google Gadgets, provide an update on the state of the gadgets world, and talk about strategies to leverage this burgeoning eco-system in your work and business.

At AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 East, delegates will hear and learn not only the history, process, and inspiration behind AJAX, they will also be helped to design actual AJAX applications using JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the Document Object Model (DOM) and XMLHttpRequest Object.

Delegates can hand-pick sessions from six tracks pitched at a a variety of levels from Beginner to Advanced. Rather than staying at the platform-agnostic level, developers and IT professionals will find among the 100+ sessions at AJAXWorld real-world examples in all the main server-side technologies such as PHP, Java, .NET and ColdFusion.

The first International AJAXWorld (a registered trademark of SYS-CON Media) Conference & Expo generated record press coverage for any i-technology event in the past 6 years. A quick search on Google News brought 410 stories filed under the keyword search "AJAXWorld."

Typical of the coverage was the story from ADT Magazine, whose John K. Waters wrote, in a report titled "Nexaweb and JackBe Take Web 2 to the Enterprise":

"Last week's AJAXWorld Conference and Expo ... had the feel of an early JavaOne - which is to say, the place was positively quivering with possibility."

What I want for Christmas is for Google to flesh out Webmaster Central!

Webmaster Central as it now stands is a great start, and it moves toward making life easier for us, but it could still do so much more to improve understanding between webmasters and Google...

What is this obsession with "widgets", "applets", and "gadgets"?

They inevitably end up doing the exact same boring things: weather, sports scores, stocks, dictionary, and maybe a little game. Great. The world of computing has changed forever.

These things are often bloated little programs because they have to run in JavaScript or some other awful language. They never have consistent UIs, so users can't learn many patterns from using one that they can apply to another. Also, it looks like Google doesn't retain any quality control over who can submit "gadgets", so I'm sure it's bound to be abused by people who want to make malware.
