We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Kevin Hakman Joins SYS-CON's June SOA Enterprise Open Source Conference
Kevin Founded a Series of Successful Emerging Internet Technology and eCommerce Ventures

Kevin Hakman is Co-founder, TIBCO General Interface, TIBCO Software Inc. Prior to TIBCO General Interface, he was the co-founder of Versalent Inc. a leading provider of enterprise client technology. Prior to Versalent, he founded a series of successful emerging Internet technology and ecommerce ventures. He has also written for eBusiness Journal and HotWired.

Hakman's Session Description

There's no D or V in "AJAX"—no DHTML, no VML. And there's no SVG. Basically, there's no graphical user interface concept described in the terms underlying the AJAX acronym. Tightly defined, AJAX is just the way to get data to and from the client—not how it gets displayed. Kevin Hakman, Co-founder of TIBCO General Interface and leading expert on AJAX technologies in the enterprise, believes that AJAX exists in four quantum states. In this session, Kevin will outline each of these four states and reveal how the broader definition of AJAX can actually give desktop installed applications a run for their money.
