By giving Web developers using HTML and JavaScript the same power as C++ and Java, we will see a large wave of next-generation consumer and Enterprise Web 2.0 applications that take innovation and productivity to new levels. These new Mobile AJAX applications run not only in the browser, but also as AJAX-powered mobile widgets and AJAX-powered installed applications. Two challenges, however, are interoperability (because different devices support different APIs), and security (along with the new feature, we also have new vulnerabilities). OpenAjax Alliance is addressing the two challenges through its open standards, open source, and security initiatives.]]></description></item><item><title>AJAX &amp; Flash Based RTView 5.0 Released</title><guid isPermaLink="true">http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/610672.htm</guid><link>http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/610672.htm</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jul 2008 13:45:00 EST</pubDate><comments>http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/610672_f.htm</comments><description><![CDATA[SL Corporation, a provider of real-time monitoring, analytics, and visualization software, today announced the availability of RTView version 5.0.
