The goal of the Microsoft incubation project codenamed Astoria is to enable server applications to easily expose data as a service that can be consumed by AJAX clients across the internet. Standard HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT and DELETE are used to perform operations against the service, and data is exchanged via open formats such as plain XML and JSON. This session will provide a sneak preview of Astoria, which is now available in early release on MSDN.

Speaker Bio:
Over a career that spans three decades in the computer industry, Dave Wright has been deeply immersed in computing technologies as diverse as multimedia, data processing, decision support systems, content management, and Internet commerce. Formerly a director of architecture for Scient and CTO of Xavient Technologies, he is a veteran of distributed computing in both technical and managerial capacities. In his current role as the .NET architect evangelist for Microsoft in Silicon Valley, Dave helps Bay Area Fortune 500 companies reduce costs and increase agility through the implementation of XML and Web services.

 
The world’s leading Rich Internet Applications & Web 2.0 event is expected to attract more than 1,000 i-technology developers. AJAXWorld grew from a single track, one-day seminar, less than a year ago, into a four-day international conference & expo with more than 150 sessions delivered in ten simultaneous tracks, by more than 150 faculty members. 
 
Track 01: Rich Internet Applications
Track 02: Web 2.0 Enterprise Mashups

Track 05: Security in RIA Applications
Track 06: Hot Topics
Track 07: iPhone AJAX Applications
Track 08: Advanced AJAX
