I’m going to be talking at Ajax World East in New York this March 18-20th. Here’s the deal:
AJAX for the Masses: Building Rich User Interfaces in Dreamweaver

Web application developers and designers often give up on building rich, interactive user interfaces because they lack the JavaScript skills to make it happen. AJAX development power tools–including Dreamweaver, Spry and off-the-shelf AJAX components–make it easy to build rich user interfaces in AJAX with no JavaScript coding.
Andre Charland will demonstrate how to install, set up and configure extensions to Dreamweaver, and will use them to build simple, rich interface AJAX apps. After this session, even beginner developers will be able to add AJAX interactions to web applications. This session is a must for ambitious, novice and intermediate designers anxious to use AJAX in their applications.

Drop me a line if you’ve going to be there and would like to meet up.
