Creating amazing user interfaces with Dojo and DWR
Published March 11th, 2009 Under Coding, Open Source Tools, User Interface | Leave a Comment
Ajax has the power to make your applications satisfying and beautiful or painful and frustrating. This talk shows how Dojo can help you create amazingly beautiful user experiences and how DWR brings the beauty to Java by making Java and JavaScript work well together. Both Dojo and DWR have changed a lot in the last 2 years. Dojo now has a theming system, many new widgets, and great documentation. DWR can now synchronize data between the server and multiple clients, you can implement Java interfaces with JavaScript, and call both ways between Java and JavaScript.
Ajax Push and ICEfaces for enterprise collaboration

The web has evolved from a document repository into a multi-user collaboration medium, shaped and created by its users. Ajax Push gives the server the ability to update any part of any page at any time, transforming every application into a new communication tool, connecting users to each other through web server mediated channels. In this session, recorded at the recent JSFOne conference, Ted Goddard provides an overview of Ajax Push and its range of uses in multi-user web applications. By stepping through the development of a multi-user slideshow and chat system, he shows you how easily sophisticated Ajax applications can be created.

When a portlet form is submitted, all the other portlets on the same portal page are forced to redraw themselves. In this presentation, filmed at the recent JSFOne Conference, Neil Griffin shows you how ICEfaces Direct-to-DOM rendering provides a cure for this disruptive end-user experience, and how ICEfaces Ajax Push supplies a rich alternative for inter-portlet communication. Demonstrations are performed within Liferay Portal, a JSR 286 (Portlet 2.0) compliant portlet container.
