AJAXWorld Keynote By Microsoft's Brad Abrams

AJAX in the Balance

Meaningful, productive, forward looking AJAX is at core a balance. A balance between client and server. A balance between commercial and open source. A balance between single platform and multiplatform. A balance between de facto and du jour standards. A balance between well established and emerging technologies. Come hear from Microsoft's Brad Abrams, who has been designing parts of the .NET Framework since 1998, how Microsoft is supporting and encouraging this balance with ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code-named “Atlas”) and future technologies.

Speaker Bio: Brad Abrams is Group Program Manager for Microsoft's rich Web client framework for building AJAX-style applications, ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code-named "Atlas"). He has been deeply involved with the .NET Framework 3.0 and Windows Vista efforts from their beginning, was a founding member of both the Common Language Runtime, and .NET Framework teams at Microsoft where he leads the UI Framework and Services team. Abrams has been designing parts of the .NET Framework since 1998 when he started his framework design career building the BCL (Base Class Library) that ship as a core part of the .NET Framework. He was also the lead editor on the Common Language Specification (CLS), the .NET Framework Design Guidelines and the libraries in the ECMA\ISO CLI Standard. Co-author of Programming in the .NET Environment, Abrams was also editor on .NET Framework Standard Library Annotated Reference Vols 1 and 2 and the Framework Design Guidelines.
