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.

Career Investment When you register for Aloha on Rails\, you are really saying\, “I enjoy what I do\, I want to get better\, and I want to make an investment in my craft and career.” You will learn new techniques\, question old assumptions\, making friends and career contacts\, and continue on your journey towards becoming a Master Craftsman. Employers notice when developers take active interest in their careers and their skill set. Peers notice it\, too\, and will continue to look to you for inspiration and direction. Get Excited Again After attending Aloha on Rails\, and after all the engaging talks and stimulating discussions\, you will return home energized and excited. Meeting fellow developers and learning that there are plenty of people that share your passions and interests (both in and out of web development) will re-ignite your enthusiasm for your craft. You’ll have a post-conference high! Engaging Format At Aloha on Rails\, you aren’t simply an audience member\, you are part of the experience and an active participant. You are encouraged to voice your opinion and discuss and debate. Aloha on Rails is read/write. Network\, network\, network! A major advantage of any conference is meeting your peers\, talking story\, and making contacts in your industry. With the relaxed setting of Hawaii and the smaller conference size\, you’ll have an excellent chance to meet presenters and fellow attendees. Talk story\, hack\, even take a surfing lesson together. You’ll make friends and contacts with fellow developers and designers that will last well after the conference is over. Presentations Are a Starting Point No doubt the presentations will be engaging\, informative and extremely relevant to any web developer. However\, we consider the presentations to be more than that: they are gateways to debate and discourse! Our speakers will expose you to new ways of thinking about a problem or a new toolkit that will help you do things easier. They will challenge your assumptions and you will even disagree with some of them. Our presentations are designed to start a discussion that lasts well after the presentation has ended. Many people have said that the power of conferences are the hallway conversations after the presentation. We couldn’t agree more. Rails Training - Learn Rails and Deploy an Application Aloha on Rails embodies the aloha spirit of peace and compassion\, and we welcome everyone from all the web development communities. When we heard that Rails Bridge has formed\, with a mission to create an inclusive and friendly Ruby on Rails community\, we knew we found an organization that help us spread the Aloha of Rails. We are excited to partner with Rails Bridge to bring you Rails Training in Paradise. Sarah Mei will lead you in writing\, testing\, and deploying your own Rails web application! This training is offered as part of your Aloha on Rails registration\, and is designed to “boot strap” you into Rails so that you will be prepared for the conference. If you are new to Rails\, or web development\, this is your chance to experience the productivity and enjoyment of Rails. After your training is done\, you’ll slide right into the conference and you’ll know what all the fuss is about. Family Events We know that many attendees will be bringing their families with them. I’m sure your spouse and/or children wouldn’t let you go to Hawaii by yourself. Aloha on Rails will run family events to the Honolulu Zoo and Honolulu Aquarium during the conference. Both activities are next door to the conference venue\, easy to get to\, and will provide a fun activity for the keiki (kids). Waikiki\, Hawaii OK\, I’ll play the “Hawaii Card.” Yes\, the conference is in Waikiki\, one of the world’s most famous beaches.
