Ajax Push - Ajax Collaboration
The Ajax Experience
Boston · October 23 - 25, 2006
About this Presentation
Ajax Push (or “comet”) is what you need to build a collaborative, multi-user application. This talk takes you through a real-world multi-user slideshow system, providing detailed lessons on Ajax Push from development to deployment.
This talk takes a complete trip through the Ajax Push pipeline, answering the hard questions with the lessons learned from developing the ICEfaces framework. See how developers and designers can work together efficiently with a standard, declarative view syntax that leaves their roles intact.
Understand how non-blocking I/O rescues Java Servlets from a thread catastrophe brought on by blocking HTTP connections. Then, apply it all to your own collaborative application, starting from a multi-user slideshow system presented in detail.
