Session Title:	Developing Revolutionary Web Applications, Using Ajax Push or Comet
Session Abstract:	Join the asynchronous Web revolution! Emerging Ajax techniques -- variously called Ajax Push, Comet, and HTTP streaming -- are bringing revolutionary changes to Web application interactivity, moving the Web into the Participation Age. Because Ajax-based applications are almost becoming the de facto technology for designing Web-based applications, it is more and more important that such applications react on the fly, to both client and server events. Ajax can be used to enable the browser to request information from the Web server but does not allow a server to push updates to a browser. Comet solves this problem. It is a technology that enables Web servers to asynchronously push events to Web clients, enabling event driven operations and functions, previously unheard of with traditional Web applications, to approach the capabilities of desktop applications.
