The true potential of Mobile AJAX applications lies in deploying rich browser-based applications on mobile devices. A lot has changed with Mobile AJAX in the past year. The first mobile AJAX applications are now live and we are seeing an increasing number of mobile devices being deployed with full browser technology (e.g.. JavaScript, CSS, AJAX etc). This session will help you to understand the impact of Mobile AJAX and Mobile Web 2.0. It includes lessons from Europe, where we have seen several disruptive scenarios emerge. It will also discuss potential architectures for deploying Mobile AJAX applications. The session aims to help you to plan and deploy existing Web-based applications to mobile devices using AJAX techniques.
