Most web mashups and Web 2.0 applications are based on data that is specifically prepared for the application, to make it easily accessible via HTTP and the AJAX client. But what about the rest of the data on the LAN? Why should that be treated differently?

The preferred technique emerging from the experience of the Web is to make data directly available to RIAs through Data Services. These new Data Services support web-friendly REST interactions, giving RIAs direct access to the data. This enables simplier, higher performing AJAX applications on the desktop.

As RIAs move to the forefront of application development, a new Data Services layer will be necessary to provide 1) consistent and seamless access to local and remote data and 2) server side processing of common data manipulations.

In this session, we will discuss what Data Services mean for AJAX applications. Examples using SnapLogic's Open Source Data Services framework will illustrate how Data Services can be used to access data from existing applications and to transform it into new services using transformation pipelines. We will also look at how these data services can be easily used by AJAX applications.

Speaker Bio: Mike started the SnapLogic project in 2005 with the goal of simplifying data integration with a fundamentally new approach. Mike has worked in the data analysis and data integration space for the past 12 years. He built his first financial data mart in 1996, and later worked on pool selection analysis for the asset-backed securitization industry. Mike joined Informatica in 1997, where he worked on product advocacy and developed the support infrastructure for the Global Support Organization which used a mixture of commercial and Open Source software to enable collaboration and resource sharing across five distributed support centers. Prior to that he worked in the high performance computer industry, optimizing Fortran and C programs for massively parallel computers. Mike graduated from the Sligo Institute of Technology in 1983.
