The Swag Gets Better
At the end of the Ajax Experience conference, they were giving away prizes to people or groups of people who could correctly answer trivia questions. These weren’t cheap prizes either — we’re talking iPod nanos, iPod videos, XBox 360s and Mac Minis.

My "Ajax Experience" Itinerary
From Sunday afternoon until Wednesday night, I’ll be reporting from The Ajax Experience in Boston, the premier gathering of developers interested in building Ajax-ified web applications.
Take a look at the conference schedule. Content-wise, it’s pretty meaty (six tracks!) and seems to offer something for Ajax developers of all levels. It’s also pretty intense, with Monday’s [...]
