In line with my past post about moving forward, we are presenting Orbited at its first conference: AjaxWorld. The conference is located in Santa Clara, CA and will be held September 23 — 26. There will be two presentations: “Comet for Highly Scalable Applications” by me, and “Comet for Everyone: Building Simple, Scalable Comet Applications with Orbited” by Jacob. If you weren’t already planning on attending this conference, definitely don’t come on account of our presentations. Unless your company wants to pay. The conference fee is upwards of $1700 — much more than I would pay for such an event.

Strangely, my presentation is listed under the track “Security and Performance.” I suppose you could look at it as a lecture on performance, but it is definitely not about security. Jacob had the good fortune of being listed under “Advanced AJAX” which sounds a bit more like Comet. It seems to me that they need a “Comet” track because other presentations on this topic are listed under such tracks as “Hot Topic”, “Enterprise Ajax”, and “RIAs in Action”. Go figure. At least they have talks on Comet.

I believe they are recording the presentations and possibly even simulcasting both the slides and video feed. Don’t quote me on that. Regardless, we’ll post our presentation slides and speaking notes here on the blog, after the conference.
