Join us next summer for four days of inspired thinking that goes beyond the obvious\, delivering vital insight into the hidden forces shaping our future. About the program: When we look around us\, there are things we can observe: Buildings. People. Nature. And then there are things that run unseen through our lives. These hidden forces -- social conventions\, biological links\, cultural frameworks\, coded meanings\, complex processes\, creative impulses\, scientific speculations\, software\, networks -- are the connective tissue that binds societies together and the engines that propel organizations forward. When illuminated\, they offer vital insights into our relationships with one another and our world. The TEDGlobal program is designed to explore and make visible the substance of things not seen."

We will start by introducing Ajax from a business\, design and coding perspective. We will then look at Ajax and The Network\, consider HTTP traffic Patterns\, object serialisation across HTTP and management and measurement of HTTP traffic. You will also learn about reverse Ajax and Enterprise Comet. You'll then be introduced to the impact of Ajax on the User Interface\, Prototype and some important Data Validation Patterns. You will also learn how to use event-driven code and callback functions and Scriptaculous. Then\, we will discuss Ajax within the context of your Enterprise Architecture. You will learn how Ajax works with SOAP and REST web services and how to use Mash-Ups to interact directly with third-party web services. Finally\, you will learn how to look after your code\, with Unit Testing and Functional testing using jsUnit\, TestMaker and Selenium. NEXT UK SESSION The next course will be delivered at Skills Matter - London\, on 04 aug 2009 by Sébastien Gruhier. Sébastien is the founder of Mapeed.com and Xilinus.com and has created open-source projects often cited in ajaxian.com like prototype-ui or prototype-graphic and is very well-know in Javascript community.
