Two trends in applications architecture − AJAX RIA on the client side and service-orientation on the server side − are enabling powerful enterprise solutions that can be leveraged in diverse business environments. In this session, Kevin Hakman, AJAX veteran and co-founder of TIBCO’s award-winning General Interface toolkit, will use real-world case studies to demonstrate how organizations are taking advantage of both of these advancements in application architecture to provide AJAX Rich Internet Applications that double the applicability of SOA investments. Attendees will hear how to deliver feature rich, high-productivity end-user applications to the business desktop.
