Best-selling Author on Servlets and JSP, Marty Hall, to Keynote

at GIDS 2010
GIDS is the Biggest Independent Summit for India's IT Professional Ecosystem.
Registration for Event Open.

Bangalore, March 5, 2010: Marty Hall is an expert on JSP, servlets, Jakarta Struts,
JSF, Ajax, GWT and Java programming. He is the author of six popular books on Java
and Web technology that have been worldwide bestsellers, been translated into 15
languages, as well as being reprinted in English in India. Marty is coming this summer
to India's biggest summit for the software developer ecosystem -- Great Indian
Developer Summit (http://www.developersummit.com/) -- to conduct a keynote
address comparing various approaches to building rich Internet applications with
Ajax. Although it is widely used in diverse types of Web applications, Ajax
development is difficult, and there are several fundamentally different strategies to
building Ajaxified Web applications. At GIDS 2010, to be held 20-23 April in
Bangalore, Marty's keynote address will survey the three most important of these
approaches: using an Ajax-enabled JavaScript library such as jQuery, Prototype,
Scriptaculous, Dojo or Ext/JS, using a Web framework such as JSF 2.0 or Struts 2 that
has integrated Ajax support, and using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) to build "pure
Java" Ajax applications. The talk will compare and contrast these three approaches,
discussing the types of applications that fit best for each option.

At GIDS Marty will also conduct several in-depth sessions -- comparing the most
popular JavaScript libraries to help choose the best Ajax/JavaScript Toolkit that fits
your needs, explaining how Version 2.0 of the Google Web Toolkit works and the
types of applications for which it is best suited, teaching how with JSF 2.0 developers
can Ajaxify their applications with little or no JavaScript programming, and discussing
the powerful yet relatively simple tools the Prototype library provides for various
types of Ajax requests.

Marty has authored Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages, More Servlets and
JavaServer Pages and Core Web Programming. Core Servlets and JSP is the single
most popular book on servlets and JSP internationally, was selected by amazon.com
as one of the best five computer programming books of the year, has been the
overall weekly #1 bestseller at fatbrain.com nine different times, and spent more
than six months as one of the top 10 best-selling computer-related books at
amazon.com and at Borders stores. He has given lectures and training courses in
seven countries and dozens of US venues, including speaking five times at JavaOne.
He also directs the Java and Web technology concentration areas in the Johns
