Presentations
Advanced Ajax with DWR
This session introduces DWR, and provides a walk-through of the basic features including Reverse Ajax and some of the many frameworks that it integrates with.
Hands On DWR
This presentation digs into many advanced DWR features such as Reverse Ajax and the JavaScript proxy APIs. We start with a simple web-based multiplayer game, and illustrate how straightforward it is to create advanced effects with minimal coding. By demonstrating advanced page manipulation and server-based control of browsers, the game shows how to update any web application to react to server changes.
