[Schedule] Ajax for the Cloud - Server+client Fusion

Over the past decade, Web applications have evolved from static HTML pages, to Dynamic HTML pages, to applets and Flash, and, finally, to Ajax technologies. This evolution is becoming more and more important due to the trend of moving applications to the cloud. Ajax systems will play an ever increasingly important role in future as the proliferation of complex Web Applications into our daily lives continues. The advance towards a completely cloud based enterprise infrastructure will only hasten this.

There are two factors significant driving forces driving behind the evolution of web application framework technologies. First is the desire of developers to create complex web applications quickly and efficiently. Secondly, as applications are moved to the cloud, demand for intuitive desktop-like web application experiences increases.

This combination is not necessarily easy to achieve and some sacrifices have to be made on both sides. However, with the turn of the decade comes a new proposal allowing developers and users to realize their dreams, the Server+Client Fusion architecture.
