2008: Decision Year for RIAs - October 20-22, 2008 San Jose


Grizzly Technical Lead To Speak at AJAXWorld in New York City
"The Web is truly moving into the Participation Age," says Jean-Francois Arcand

Jean-Francois Arcand, Technical Lead of  the Java NIO-based http engine called Grizzly, will be speaking next week at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, the 5th International AJAXWorld. 

In a joint session that he is giving with Ted Goddard, Senior Softare Architect of ICEsoft, Arcand will be providing a detailed introduction to the Asynchronous Web and its application to social computing, explaining the underlying protocols and APIs, the challenges for application servers, and the high-level techniques available to application developers.

"Attendees will take away the information they need to add multi-user collaboration and notification features to their application," he says, "whether they develop with Dojo, DWR, or ICEfaces, and whether they deploy on Jetty, Tomcat, or GlassFish."


Before joining Sun, Arcand worked as a software architect for compagnies such as France Telecom, Microcell Telecom and HMS Software in both Java and C++. He lives and works from home in Prevost, a small city in Quebec "where life is perfect," he says.



This joint technical session is just of the 90+ sessions, presentations, discussion panels, and keynotes that together make up the 3-day conference program of this month's 5th International AJAXWorld.

The event features
six content-rich tracks:

  • Enterprise RIAs
  • Rich-Web Tools & Case Studies
  • Web 2.0 & Social Applications
