SYS-CON's 6th International AJAX World RIA Conference & Expo will take place October 20-22, 2009, at the Fairmont Hotel, in San Jose, California.

Static HTML wireframes are no longer sufficient to prototype today's rich internet applications (RIAs) built on syndicated content, widgets, DOM manipulation, AJAX calls, and often a substantial amount of custom JavaScript.

What if you could build the user interface prototype in a matter of days or weeks without a single line of server-side code or even a datamodel? What if the business owner could not only play with this prototype, but also provide context specific feedback seamlessly while exploring the prototype? Finally, what if the prototype wasn't a prototype at all, but was the actual user-interface of the final product (zero throwaway code)... even if you haven't decided which server-side technology you want to use (Java, .Net, Ruby, PHP, Python, Perl)?

We do. You can. Come learn.
