On Tuesday the 14th at 8:00pm in the Engineering Building Auditorium, Andrew Lamonica of the Computer Science Dept. will give a talk on the emerging web technology known as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). AJAX is gaining wide acceptance in the web-development community and is the technology behind Google Maps, Digg.com, Microsofts Start.com, and the Gmail interface. The talk will provide an introduction to the AJAX component technologies (JavaScript, XML, the DOM, HTML and XHTML) and practical demonstrations of their uses in AJAX. The demonstrations and discussion will be appropriate for students with at least some programming experience and an interest in website development. This event is sponsored by the Computer Association of SIUE (CAOS).
