In this session, Kevin Hakman, Product Director for TIBO General Interface will discuss these new Web architectures and how you can evolve the classic three-tier Web application model toward a full service-oriented application stack complete with AJAX Rich Internet Application GUIs to deliver a new generation of more powerful, more scalable, and more richly featured Web applications.
