AJAXWorld Conference & Expo Charter Sponsors Include the World's Leading AJAX Technology Companies

Conference Sponsors Include Adobe, TIBCO, Apress, Backbase, ComponentArt, Helmi Technologies, Laszlo Systems, Nexaweb, telerik, Google, Parasoft, and ILOG

SYS-CON Events (www.events.sys-con.com) announced today the charter sponsors of the First International AJAXWorld Conference & Expo, which will take place October 2-4, 2006, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, California. These companies include some of the leading AJAX technology providers in the world.

It was Paul Graham, in his essay on "Web 2.0," who said that "Basically, what 'AJAX' means is JavaScript now works." Many i-technology companies are lining up to agree with Graham, who added: "As you read this, a whole new generation of software is being written to take advantage of AJAX."

As Graham noted, there hasn't been such a wave of new applications since microcomputers first appeared. Many of the companies behind those applications, as well as those behind the code behind the apps, are either sponsors or exhibitors of AJAXWorld Conference & Expo. To date the star-studded roster includes:

Adobe
