Speaking at Jazoon next week

posted 10:05AM Jun 19, 2008 with tags ajax jazoon rest speaking webforms zurich by Lars Trieloff

If you are following dev.day.com you have probably seen it already: I will speak next Wednesday at Jazoon conference in Zürich about REST, AJAX and WebForms 2.0. If you are interested in building interactive and standards-compliant web sites and web applications, I would be happy to meet you there.

Btw. I originally planned to call this post "Ten reasons why you will hate not being in Zürich next week", but I decided one uber-catchy headline per week is enough.

Dojo 1.0 is out

posted 03:41PM Nov 06, 2007 with tags ajax dojo opensource release by Lars Trieloff

I could have twittered it, but this is too important to go down the lifestream that fast: Dojo 1.0 is released. Dojo is the most powerful, most solidly engineered open source Javascript and AJAX toolkit and everyone who is still developing his own widget system has no more excuse of not using Dojo, now that it has reached 1.0 and no more API breaks are to be expected. Congratulations to the Dojo team!

Jeremy Quinn has recently checked in some spectacular enhancements to AJAX support in Cocoon that make it possible to upload files in AJAX-powered Cocoon Forms and even adds a progress bar to the upload field. See Jeremy's post for more details.

The top-10 words for defining web 2.0

posted 11:24PM Aug 02, 2006 with tags ajax definition folksonomy statistics web20 by Lars Trieloff

Nearly everyone that knows the terms Web 2.0 knows the "Web 2.0 definition game": Ask two people what "Web 2.0" means and you will get 3 definitions. 37signals asked 500 people and got 500 definitions and while reading those comments is quite entertaining, I was asking myself "What are the words used in most Web 2.0 definitions". I feed a word frequency analyzer with the results, removed obvious stopwords and got following list:
  1. Web (320 mentions)
  2. Applications (and Apps, 128 mentions)
  3. More (99 mentions)
  4. Ajax (98 mentions)
  5. New (75 mentions)
  6. 2.0 (59 mentions)
  7. User (51 mentions)
  8. Me (47 mentions)
  9. You (39 mentions)
  10. Desktop (35 mentions)

runner-ups are: Internet, People, Sites, Content, Think, Using, Software, Interactive, Next and Services.

Now, when you build your own defintions, remember to use the Top-10 words for defining web 2.0 to stay folksonomy compatible.

Web 2.0 means more new ajax applications for desktop users like you and me.

If you've got other ideas, add them in the comments. Interestingly, words like Social (23 mentions), Hype (21 mentions) or Collaborations (13 mentions) which had been part of my Web 2.0 definition don't show up in the Top-10 and Folksonomy is mentioned only once and Tag and Tagging are mentioned ten times.
