Day 1…. I Can Has Internets?

It’s amazing that a conference about web technology doesn’t give you wireless access during the conference.  At least the speakers were prepared, but it left me all cold, alone, and blogless.  There’s a rumor the interwebs will be working tomorrow, but don’t hold your breath…

85 Sessions…

There’s a ton of stuff that’s going to be covered this week, so planning some kind of agenda is becoming next to impossible. I’m definitely the kind of person that isn’t happy just staying with one general topic. I like jumping around a bit to try to get a broader idea of what’s going on, although I’m going to try to keep that to a minimum. It’s probably a good thing they’re giving us DVDs of all the sessions, otherwise I’d probably pass out trying to sprint around to every one. There are 85 session, 18 core topics including:

• Rich Internet Applications
• Enterprise Mashups
• Security
• Toolkits & Frameworks
• Web 2.0 | Enterprise Web 2.0
• Enterprise AJAX
• Social Applications
• iPhone
• Reverse AJAX | AJAX Push | Comet
• ASP.NET AJAX

It’s Alive!!!

AJAX World Conference and Expo 2008 is being held in NYC at the Roosevelt Hotel, March 18 – 21. I figured I’d create this little blog to later remind myself of why my brain exploded at the end of this week… and also to show people that I actually did attend this conference, instead of following my initial impulse to go on a drunken 3-day karaoke bar marathon. Well, I guess there’s still the possibility…
