MONTVALE, NJ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/15/05 -- SYS-CON Events (www.sys-con.com) announced today the "Real-World AJAX One-Day Seminar" (www.ajaxseminar.com) to take place on Monday, March 13, 2005, in New York City. Delegate and sponsor registration information can be obtained at the conference website, www.ajaxseminar.com, as it becomes available.

This one-day AJAX seminar will feature 15 speakers in 11 sessions, including the world's most renowned AJAX experts: Jesse James Garrett, the Father of AJAX; David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Ruby on Rails (with his very first talk on "AJAX in Rails"); Satish Dharmaraj, the creator of server-side Java; Bill Scott, AJAX evangelist of Yahoo!; Scott Dietzen, the creator of WebLogic; Rob Gonda, the bestselling AJAX author and evangelist; and Ross Dargahi, well-known AJAX evangelist and architect.

Seminar attendees will also get a chance to hear from leading AJAX technology companies with presentations of their real-world AJAX solutions and accompanying Q&A discussions.

"By now there isn't a software developer on earth who isn't aware of the collection of programming technologies known as AJAX," said Jeremy Geelan, group publisher and editorial director of SYS-CON Media. "But you can't bank awareness. So, how in concrete terms can you take advantage in your own projects of this newly popular way of delivering online content to users without reloading an entire page? How soon can you be monetizing AJAX? This 'Real-World AJAX' One-Day Seminar aims to answer these exact questions. Led by 'The Father of AJAX' himself, the charismatic Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path, 'Real-World AJAX' has one overriding organizing principle: Its aim is to make sure that delegates fortunate enough to secure themselves a place before they're all sold out will leave the seminar with a sufficient grasp of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML to enable them to build their first AJAX application on their own when they get back to their office. As if the participation in this content-rich day of the man who first coined 'AJAX' weren't enough, 'Real-World AJAX' also offers insights from Satish Dharmaraj, the father of server side Java; David Heinemeier Hansson, the creator of Rails; Bill Scott of Yahoo!; and 15 leading speakers."
