Maintaining legacy applications is often a lose-lose proposition: The IT department is stuck spending a lot of time on basic maintenance while, at the same time, business units can't derive new value from these outdated tools. The solution is to modernize to an Enterprise Web 2.0 architecture, but the cost of modernizing is perceived as being too high. Listen as Stein Sorhaug, Solutions Engineer, explains how enterprises have saved money while transforming their legacy client/server applications to web-enabled solutions - all while adding new functionality and improving user experience. The meeting will conclude with a Q&A session so bring your questions about modernizing your own legacy applications to a Web architecture.
Original Date: June 17, 2008 The RIA marketplace has seen its share of technologies - HTML, Java, Flash and Ajax included. Despite the buzz each has shown its limitations as a robust RIA development technique however. But Java UIs are making a comeback, and for good reason, when building rich, mission-critical applications for the Web.
As AJAX matures as a technology, its use in large applications has increased significantly. But large applications require more extensive amounts of code, which leads to the inevitable performance bottlenecks and memory constraints associated with non-trivial application development.
Original Date: May 22, 2008 PowerBuilder, ColdFusion (v5 and older) and Oracle Forms applications are costing enterprises millions to maintain, and more to upgrade. Rebuilding these applications as Web systems is not as simple as adding flashy UIs and deploying them in a browser. Capturing and cataloging code as UML, refactoring and harvesting key business processes, and reusing UML/XML artifacts are vitally important for an application's future and long-term ROI. Listen as David McFarlane, COO at Nexaweb, and guest speakers from Pepsi Bottling Group and SBE Group, discuss legacy application transformation success stories and best practices.
The availability of dojo 1.1 brings with it dramatically improved performance, modularity, stability and functionality. What do these and other improvements mean for organizations using dojo for enterprise application development, and what are some of the other forthcoming enhancements developers need to know about? Listen as Bob Buffone, Chief Architect at Nexaweb, answers these questions and discusses how Nexaweb has used dojo as the foundation for its Ajax client technology.
Original Date: April 23, 2008 Composite & Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are gaining significant momentum within the enterprise because of the broad impact they can have on IT, business, and user productivity. But for many, building applications that consume services without governance can be like the “Wild, Wild West” – resulting in an unstable set of applications and processes. Poor Governance = Poor Applications:
Listen as Bob Buffone, Chief Architect at Nexaweb, and Sameer Vaidya, Chief Architect of SOA Solutions, HP BTO Software, discuss these problems and best practices for building governed, SOA-enabled composite and Rich Internet Applications. As winners of SearchSOA.com's Products of the Year, HP and Nexaweb combine to offer a powerful solution to your governance needs.

The Rich Internet Application marketplace has changed a lot since the early days, when there were only a handful of players and the options for building applications were limited to HTML, Java or Flash (before Flex existed). HTML was typically the choice for static information portals, while Flash was the choice for more ‘real-time’ applications and/or when animation was a requirement. Once the Ajax wildfire began, the landscape vastly changed and a new option for developing RIAs was now available. Despite the multitude of open source Ajax projects and startups that have emerged in the past few years, Ajax has its limitations as a robust RIA development technique.
Rich web applications for the enterprise are no longer off on the horizon. The technology is ready now, and Global 2000 companies that have built and deployed enterprise web applications — including mashup and composite apps — are already enjoying significant time and cost savings as a result. This session features Enable-U's Kees Neven and featured guest, Anne Thomas Manes, VP and Research Director at the Burton Group, who explore the value that enterprise web applications can bring to your company, including real-world case studies.
Original Date: February 6, 2008 As AJAX matures as a technology, its use in large applications has increased significantly. But large applications require more extensive amounts of code, which leads to the inevitable performance bottlenecks and memory constraints associated with non-trivial application development. Listen as Bob Buffone provides detailed information on how to performance-tune large AJAX applications using a variety of available tools and techniques. Drawing on the experience of having developed large AJAX frameworks, this session will look at a variety of performance bottlenecks that can occur within an application.
Original Date: December 18, 2007 You've reached an inflection point in your SOA initiative. It's time to start using services to build applications...or at least make existing applications better. This development review session covers best practices for using Ajax to begin quickly and easily enhancing your existing applications with new features and functionality that offer users new and exciting productivity tools. Best of all, you can do it with declarative XML and not in pure Javascript.
Original Date: December 4, 2007 Leading enterprises rely on declarative Ajax to develop RIAs, enterprise mashups and composite applications. This This session explores the advantages of the markup + POJO approach, including such topics as:
Rich Internet Applications and the Agile Enterprise Original Date: November 27, 2007 Agile enterprises use Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to empower workers with access to critical information that helps them make better decisions faster. RIAs bring together data from within and outside the enterprise and present it to users in a familiar format. The result is a more productive and efficient workforce that can focus on important business processes instead of accessing and managing multiple data sources to find the information they need. Join Geoff Cubitt, President & CTO at Roundarch, and Nexaweb’s COO, David McFarlane, to hear case studies about enterprises that have increased their agility, productivity and efficiency using Rich Internet Applications, and learn how your organization can quickly and easily begin to enjoy the same benefits that RIA and Enterprise Web 2.0 technology offers.

Rich Internet Applications: Enabling the Information Workplace Original Date: November 13, 2007 Forrester Research defines an Information Workplace (IW) as a "next-generation digital workplace based on portal, collaboration, content management, and office productivity technologies, plus many emerging technologies in the Web 2.0 and Social Computing space."* Information Workplaces, according to Forrester, exploit tools like Rich Internet Applications to make workers more productive and companies more agile and effective. This transformation has already begun. A recent Forrester survey revealed that 60% of organizations are developing or have developed an Information Workplace strategy.* And there's no wonder why; using RIAs, enterprises can streamline business processes by bringing together multiple data sources into a single application, empowering knowledge workers with the information they need - where and when they need it. Listen as Nexaweb’s COO, David McFarlane, and featured guest, Erica Driver, Principal Analyst from Forrester Research discuss real-world Information Workplace strategies and how RIAs are enabling enterprises to become more productive, agile, and efficient.
Original Date: November 1, 2007 While enterprise developers relied on their HTML skills in a web 1.0 environment, the evolution to web 2.0 demands that developers add Ajax to their skillsets to deliver faster, better, and cheaper business applications. Enterprise applications using a click-and-refresh model will no longer suffice, as companies seek a competitive edge in a global marketplace where only the most agile and efficient organizations will survive. Ajax applications empower knowledge workers with real-time data when they need it, resulting in faster decisions and a better user experience. Listen as Bob Buffone, chief architect and Ajax guru, discusses the advantages of developing with Ajax and how developers can create rich Internet applications, mashups, and composite applications. Specific examples and code will be included.
Web2SOA for BeNeLux, Scandinavia and Iberia Original Date: October 11, 2007 A recent Gartner report estimated that the worldwide market for SOA, Web services and Web 2.0 reached $41 billion in 2006, and will grow to $140 billion by 2011. Additionally, a Gartner survey found that 25% of companies were using web 2.0 style services and close to 50% of companies that are using or planning to use web 2.0 style services will use application development tools and IDE’s in the next 12 months. However, among companies who were doing projects involving web services and web 2.0 style services, the survey also found an absence of best practices among respondents in areas such as: an SOA center of excellence (only 27%), an SOA governance process (only 19%), use of a registry product (only 27%), and a published list of reusable components (only 25%). Gartner's research stated, “Because the movement of Web 2.0 technologies into the enterprise is inevitable, IT organizations must take an active role in the strategy and execution of Enterprise Web 2.0 implementations.” Nexaweb's Web2SOA program addresses the 'last mile' of SOA. We have partnered with SOA specialists, Enable-U, to deliver Enterprise Web 2.0 technology and SOA services to the European marketplace, including Scandinavia, Benelux and Iberia. Listen as Kees Neven, Technical Director at Enable-U, and Bob Buffone, Chief Architect at Nexaweb, explain how the Web2SOA program is enabling organizations to use Web 2.0 technology to deliver on the promise of SOA.
ROI of Enterprise Web 2.0 with Forrester’s Ron Rogowski Original Date: September 20, 2007 Enterprise Web 2.0 is NOT about making blogs, wiki’s, or RSS technology a part of your applications. It IS about streamlining ‘swivel chair’ application integration for end-users, making it possible for developers to build and maintain Web-based business-oriented applications, and helping one business unit leverage the UI components and data services of another to deploy a composite application to a sub-set of users. Listen as Forrester Research analyst Ron Rogowski, Torry Harris’ North American Country Manager Thiru Sivasubramanian, and Nexaweb’s COO David McFarlane explain the return on invesment opportunities that Enterprise Web 2.0 can bring to your organization.
Securing Web 2.0: What Enterprises Need to Know Original Date: September 6, 2007 The latest Web technologies allow organizations to improve their productivity, efficiency and agility by developing and deploying enterprise applications to their users, wherever they are located. These applications enable the sharing of information both within and across departments. However, concerns about data security have prevented the migrations of many mission-critical applications to the Internet. Listen as Adam Vincent, Senior Solution Architect at Layer 7, as well as Steve Hansen, Senior Solution Architect and Sam Berg, Director at Nexaweb, detail how you can create secure, browser-based applications that can be deployed to connected, semi-connected, and mobile users.
Original Date: August 30, 2007 Everybody’s doing the ‘mashup’ thing, creating Ajax applications that pair a Google map with some weather feeds, movie times and restaurants. But the question most IT organizations have is, “how can I use mashups in the enterprise to solve real world business problems?” In the business world there is real competitive advantage to be had for those companies who can figure out how to access the wide variety of enterprise and web based data sources available and then rapidly repurpose that data to create incremental business value and get more done. Listen as Kapow Technologies' CTO, Stefan Andreasen, and Nexaweb’s Chief Architect, Bob Buffone, answer this question and offer practical tips on how to build mashups that deliver tangible business value.
Developing Rich Internet Applications with Declarative Programming Original Date: August 21, 2007 It’s no mystery that organizations want and need to build applications faster, better, and cheaper, and declarative programming helps to make that possible. Declarative programming is what drove the Web to a platform that can be developed by everyone from my ten-year-old son to experienced web professionals. Listen as Bob Buffone discusses declarative markup and its impact on RIA development.
