Designing a state of the art user interface (UI) in a very visual application that is managing a lot of elements posed significant challenge due to the nature of the application: virtualizing and running entire data centers through a browser. With thousands of objects to coordinate the UI architecture proved as critical as the implementation details. Attendees will get a full case study on building application UI with AJAX – from architecture decisions, tool choice, and design implementation to performance testing procedures for multiple http calls per page refresh; rich client-like user interactions; security testing; and dealing with support of different browser versions. After investigating different approached to the UI, 3Tera came to the conclusion that AJAX is the only technology that allows to build utility computing in a browse. Atendees will hear a highly compelling insight on the process of developing functionally rich front end to a very complex system. The presentation also addresses business and IT concerns, and will educate the audience with real-world examples of how companies are already operating and leveraging utility computing in a browser and benefiting from the AJAX based UI to deliver, provision and scale Web applications with ease.
