Experience AJAX, RIA, and Web 2.0 Knowledge and Best Practices at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 West
AJAXWorld 2007 West delegates will hear first-hand from the creators, innovators, leaders and early adopters of AJAX, and a slew of leading vendors will provide sneak-peeks of the very latest frameworks, tools, products and applications during the conference, which will have over 100 sessions and presentations given by 125 different speakers -- the largest AJAX-focused speaker faculty ever assembled in one place at one time.

AJAXWorld University Bootcamp
AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2007 West (www.ajaxworld.com) will be jump-started with a full one-day "AJAX University Boot Camp," personally led by Web 2.0 and AJAX guru and the editor-in-chief of AJAXWorld Magazine Dion Hinchcliffe, followed by the Main Conference and Expo over the next two days.

AJAXWorld University Bootcamp is a compelling, intensive, one-day, hands-on training program that will teach Web developers, Web designers, and other Web professionals how to build high-quality AJAX applications from beginning to end. The Bootcamp is an interactive, in-depth and highly practical crash course. The instructor will lecture for the minimum amount of time necessary and then will take the students rapidly and thoroughly through the paces of developing with AJAX using the latest techniques, libraries/frameworks, and best practices.

The Bootcamp sample application, a photo-sharing application, will be fully functioning by the end of the day and attendees will be able to take their application home to experiment further. Attendees will also take home all of the courseware, which provides additional "stretch" work that the attendee can use to further deepen his or her understanding of AJAX.
