We will hold an online, free presentation showing what you can do with Gaia Ajax when building next generation web applications in a fast, lightfoot and intelligent way. Jan Blomquist will demonstrate the power of our latest 3.6 version and why abstracting away JavaScript and developing in a managed language is crucial for time-to-market.

5 winners will be chosen at random from the list of attendees. Each of them will win an annual subscription of Gaia Ajax (worth $595).

World renown book author and architect Dino Esposito paid Gaiaware a visit last week for technical discussions and to have evening presentations for the local Developer forum. It's no secret that Dino is particular fond of the Gaia Ajax toolkit.

"In the past few years, so many times I changed my mind on the most effective way to get AJAX in ASP.NET. In the end, it has to be a way that doesn’t force you away from the programming model of ASP.NET and offers new and effective tools for the new AJAX challenges. Gaiaware just does it. " - Dino
