Today, we’re announcing that we will be sponsoring AjaxWorld East 2008 and AjaxWorld West 2008 as the Platinum sponsor.
Ajaxworld East is March 18-20, 2008 in New York. Ajaxworld West is October 20-22, 2008 in San Jose. Both events will focus on the emerging Rich Internet Application (RIA) space. Douglas Crockford (of JSON fame) will be the keynote for Ajaxworld East.
Today’s announcement also underscores our commitment to raising the awareness of the Appcelerator open source product. Stay tuned, we’ll be announcing new product and improvements to our existing Appcelerator Platform SDK in the next couple of weeks.
