From hvc at cpan.org Thu Feb 9 09:40:04 2006 From: hvc at cpan.org (Helen Cook) Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2006 09:40:04 -0800 Subject: [Van-pm] Wed, February 22nd: Catalyst, Ajax and Web 2.0 Message-ID: <20060209174004.GE1333@soundwave.net> When: Wednesday February 22, 2006, 7:30pm Where: ActiveState/Sophos, 580 Granville Street, Vancouver, BC Speakers and Topics: Alex Pavlovic and Slobodan Miskovic will present: "Catalyst, Ajax and Web2.0. Are we there yet?" This talk will focus on using Catalyst and AJAX to deliver the look and feel of a desktop application in a browser. We will briefly cover the basics of the Catalyst model-view-controller structure, and then see how to use javascript and Catalyst actions to create powerful user interactions. There will be time for questions. Alex Pavlovic Mr. Pavlovic graduated in 1999 from Camosun College in Computer Science and has been working as a developer in Canada since 1994. In the last few years, he has worked heavily with open source web based technologies, especially emerging W3C recommendations and standards. Currently Mr. Pavlovic is exploring new web development concepts and strategies that bring much needed functionality into the browser itself, and that could ultimately replace desktop applications. Slobodan Miskovic Mr. Miskovic, a recent graduate from SFU's Computer Science program, has been doing web development for 8 years, and is a rapid adopter of new technologies. Currently he is an independent contractor who enjoys exploring the wonderful world of Web2.0 as seen from the Catalyst perspective.

In-Reply-To: <43FD63BE.3070305@shaw.ca> References: <43FD63BE.3070305@shaw.ca> Message-ID: <200602230947.38195.alex.pavlovic@taskforce-1.com> Hi, I would like to thank everyone for attending. Since there was quite a bit of intrest on the topic of XMLRPC and Catalyst ( i.e. how to provide web services ), I added an extra slide that shows how to POST xml request to the server entrypoint. Maybe there was some confusion yesterday but needless to say with XMLRPC you don't need to encode the key,value pairs instead you specify method names and their arguments in the xml request. The slides are available in two formats as OASIS Opendoc presentation and xhtml ( utf-8 encoded ) document. If you are having problems opening them please let me know and I will try to supply additional formats. The files are located under: https://subversion.taskforce-1.com/misc/trunk/presentations/catalyst_and_ajax/ Username: public Password: public Thanks for listening to us, ranting about Catalyst and AJAX :) On Wednesday 22 February 2006 23:26, Casimir Loeber wrote: > I was not able to make this meeting but I am intrigued by the topic, did > anyone happen to take the Minutes?

Please let me know if you are still experiencing problems. The xhtml format was dropped since the export filter did not work properly it seems. Thanks.

I think it was quite successful to have the double-header with the VanXML group; we should do that again. Now, for March -- Luke Closs would like to give us an update on Selenium driven mode. Luke spoke last November on the basics of Selenium, a very nice framework for testing web apps, including javascript and ajax. (http://www.openqa.org/selenium/) So we need another presentation to round out the evening. Any volunteers? Also we need a date. Let's say Wednesday, March 22nd assuming the mez is free (Luke, would you please check and book it if available?) --h
