So far has it has been a good set of sessions at the GIDS - Day 2. The first session was by Mary Hall in which he illustrated how one should select the options available for building Web Applications using AJAX. The summary was that for applications that are already existing and for which one wishes to use AJAX one should use one of the traditionally AJAX libraries like JQuery etc. For applications that are being developed one should consider using a standard framework like JSf, Struts2, Spring MVC etc. One should consider GWT if one wishes to build a desktop like Application on the Web.
The second presentation was by Ramesh Srinivasaragahavan and he focussed on how the web has changed and how it has further changed with the introduction of ubiquitous devices which are used to browse the Web.
The next speaker was Prakash Sayini who was speaking on behalf of his boss who could not make it because of volcanoes in Iceland. He spoke about the facilities provided by Nokia for the developers to develop mobile applications.
Scott Davis came and deconstructed a Web2.0 site. A summary of his presentation was that
Web 2.0 is not static it is dynamic
Web 20. is not passive it is interactive
Web 2.0 is not solitary it is collaborative
Web 2.0 is not monolithic it is componentized
Marty Hall came back to compare the JavaScript libraries and made it very clear that there is no one library that is going to solve one's problem. The selection should be based on the problem to be addressed.
More in the next post.
