By now there isn't a software developer on earth who isn't aware of the collection of programming technologies known as AJAX. But you can't bank awareness. Which is why developers from all over the world are converging today from 07:00AM in New York City's Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square to live and breathe AJAX at the inaugural "Real-World AJAX" Seminar. The top-line speakers are: Jesse James Garrett, David Heinemeier Hansson, Scott Dietzen, Ross Dargahi, Bill Scott, Christophe Coenraets, Rob Gonda, Dave Crane, Jouk Pleiter, Kevin Hakman, Sahil Malik, and Dion Hinchcliffe.

SYS-CON's "Real-World AJAX" seminar series aims to answer several questions: how in concrete terms can developers take advantage in their own projects of this newly popular way of delivering online content to users without reloading an entire page? How soon can developers be monetizing AJAX?

Led by The Father of the term "AJAX" himself, the charismatic Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path, the "Real-World AJAX" Seminar today has one overriding organizing principle: its aim is to make sure that delegates fortunate enough to secure themselves a place will leave the seminar with a sufficient grasp of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML to enable them to build their first AJAX application on their own when they get back to their office.

As if the participation in this content-rich day of the man who first coined "AJAX" weren't enough, "Real-World AJAX" also offers insights from:

David Heinemeier Hansson, The Creator of Rails

Scott Dietzen, President & CTO of Zimbra, A Father of J2EE

Bill Scott, AJAX Evangelist of Yahoo!

Christophe Coenraets, AJAX-Flex Integration Guru, Adobe

Jouk Pleiter, Co-Founder & CEO, Backbase

Kevin Hakman, Co-Founder General Interface, TIBCO Software

Rob Gonda, Editor-in-Chief of AJAX Developer's Journal

Sahil Malik, telerik Tech Evangelist, Bestselling Book Author

Ross Dargahi, Co-Founder and VP of Engineering, Zimbra

Dave Crane, Bestselling AJAX book author on "AJAX Power Panel"

Dion Hinchcliffe, Well-known Web 2.0 Blogger on "AJAX Power Panel"
