Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud.
We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Designing a
state of the art user interface (UI) in a very visual application that is
managing a lot of elements posed significant challenge due to the nature of the
application: virtualizing and running entire data centers through a browser.
With thousands of objects to coordinate the UI architecture proved as critical
as the implementation details.
Attendees will get a full case study on building
application UI with AJAX
– from architecture decisions, tool choice, and design implementation to
performance testing procedures for multiple http calls per page refresh; rich
client-like user interactions; security testing; and dealing with support of
different browser versions.
After investigating different approached to the UI,
3Tera came to the conclusion that AJAX
is the only technology that allows to build utility computing in a browse.
Atendees will hear a highly compelling insight on the process of developing
functionally rich front end to a very complex system. The presentation also
addresses business and IT concerns, and will educate the audience with
real-world examples of how companies are already operating and leveraging
utility computing in a browser and benefiting from the AJAX based UI to
deliver, provision and scale Web applications with ease.
