Case Studies Across the Document- Application Spectrum
The Ajax Experience
Boston · October 23 - 25, 2006
About this Presentation
How is DHTML and Ajax used, in practice, under the pressures of massive scale and global distribution?
This presentation offers case studies of three state-of-the-art Yahoo! products that compare and contrast JavaScript, CSS, DHTML and Ajax implementation and approach details. These products share base infrastructure and goals, but unique requirements and influences lead to different decisions and compromises, and vastly different outcomes. Even with the differences, there are several patterns that are repeated depending on a product's location on the Document-Application Spectrum.
