Jeremy is part of Brighton web guru company ClearLeft who organise the dConstruct conference here in Brighton in November.
And if that’s not enough, Adobe have been kind enough to give us a free ticket for dConstruct to raffle.
So here’s a full description of the session :
Ajax allows developers to build rich applications in the browser that can communicate with the server without a complete page refresh. So what else is new? Flash has been able to do this for years. With the introduction of the Flex framework, developers have a great environment for building these kinds of applications. Yet Ajax is getting all the hype. What makes it seem so revolutionary to so many people?
Ajax and Flash have a lot in common but they also have their own individual strengths and weaknesses. Ajax is very well suited to making enhancements to existing websites - enhancements that can degrade gracefully if JavaScript is disabled. The Flex framework, on the other hand, is ideal for situations where a complete interface is required.
But when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. There are Ajax applications out there that should be delivered in Flash. And there are Flash applications that would be better suited to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Instead of choosing the right tool for the job, developers are often unwilling to step outside their own personal comfort zones.
In this presentation, you’ll learn the ins and outs of Ajax, its power and its shortcomings. Find out how it compares to Flash as a delivery platform. Most of all, learn when to use Ajax and when to stick to Flex.
