Think Fast: Accelerate AJAX Development with Appcelerator

Jeff Haynie's RIA Session at AJAXWorld, March 18-20, in New York City

Jeff Haynie will introduce the audience to Appcelerator’s open-source RIA platform. Attendees will learn how Appcelerator has been able to help developers create AJAX-based RIAs in less than 1/3 of the time, with up to 90 percent less code, and with no Javascript or third-party toolkits. Key takeaways from the session will include:

  • Developing fully-functional, client-only prototypes without writing a line of server code
  • Creating service-oriented UIs that can simultaneously access services in any language without code changes
  • Decoupling client and server components for accelerated development, simplified maintenance and rapid iterations
Haynie will also discuss the current technology options for rapid RIA development and how developers can leverage pre-built AJAX widgets, Web Expression Language, and other open standards-based languages to create RIAs with more functionality and less code.

Appcelerator is a 100% open-source RIA platform built entirely around open standards.

Speaker Bio: Jeff Haynie is co-founder and CEO of Appcelerator. He started Appcelerator to provide a true open-source solution to enterprise RIA and SOA-based services development, after growing frustrated by the limited options and complexity in other solutions through his own development work.

He has been active in standards development, as well as a contributor to open-source projects, including early work on JBoss. For more on Jeff Haynie, visit his blog at http://blog.jeffhaynie.us.
