Webcast - ‘Ajax – It's All About the User, Stupid’

JackBe reviewed ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ of web applications today. Today's HTML-based websites and portals are difficult to develop and maintain but, more importantly, are difficult to use. In the end, both IT and the end-user suffer. In contrast, Ajax provides the opportunity to create ‘Rich Enterprise Applications’ (REAs) that support the user in ways that users have come to expect from desktop applications, allowing for real interactivity and multitasking in a web application. JackBe CTO John Crupi discusses the important qualities in REAs and provides a demonstration of an Ajax-enabled REA that meet the end-user criteria of 'faster, smarter, easier'. This webcast was cosponsored by JackBe's partner, Cynergy (Requires Webex Player to view).
