"Front-end engineering rocks right now," says upcoming AJAXWorld speaker Christian Heilmann from Yahoo! "The era of boring web sites is over and we’re all into pushing the envelope, erasing boundaries and getting beyond whatever prevents us from building the next killer web application," he continues. "New companies building quick-turnaround web products spring up like mushrooms and many an old convention of web design is cast aside to make way for quick prototyping and agile development."
Heilman's session is but one of many dozens of high-energy, insightful technical sessions from the world-class line-up of speakers on the Faculty next week at AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East, the 5th International AJAXWorld.

DOUGLAS CROCKFORD Can We Fix The Web?
The
Web needs fixing. The standards and recommendations that define it were
last revised in 1999, since when it has grown from a document retrieval
system into an application delivery system.The
current Web is overly complex, visually underpowered, and hopelessly
insecure. It is now under competitive assault by new proprietary
platforms that hope to capture the next generation of applications. Can
a system as large and as open as the Web heal and adapt itself to the
challenges of the 21st Century.

ANTHONY FRANCO RIA Adoption in 2008 – Risks, Rewards, Challenges and Opportunities
Last
year, the overall demand for RIAs outpaced the qualified supply chain.
Industry analysts expect the explosive growth to continue in 2008. This
unprecedented increase in RIA adoption – especially by the Fortune 500
– will enable companies to hone their competitive edge and improve core
business practices with fast, reliable, productivity-enhancing tools. RIAs can provide your customers with user experiences that leave your competition in the dust. While the flip side of the coin is that the world of RIAs can be fraught with costly risk, if you keep the risks and rewards front of mind, you can turn the 2008 RIA challenge into successful opportunities.

SYS-CON Italy News Desk wrote: I just got hit with an email informing me that ajaxCFC will break when application.cfc adds code onRequest(start|end). I modified the framework to reset the content before the JavaScript response, and abort it at the end of the asynchronous call. I am not quite happy with the abort though, so if someone has a better solution to eliminate all code generated by onRequestEnd please comment it here.
