Kurt Cagle will deliver a session at the upcoming First International AJAXWorld Conference & Expo, October 2-4, 2006, in Santa Clara, California.

JAX technologies currently figure heavily in consumer-based applications, but enterprise adoption of AJAX has been considerably slower and more constrained, due in great part to the significant architecture changes that AJAX tends to bring to the server side, an area where there has been significant investment in the last decade. This talk/forum looks at the implications of AJAX on enterprise architectures and explores ways that AJAX can be used to help the transition to a more SOA architecture with minimal investment change needed on the part of IT managers.
