Kaazing Founder Jonas Jacobi to speak on HTML 5, Comet, WebSockets,
Future of the Web

Bangalore, December 10, 2008: Web applications have traditionally been
seen as second tier citizens in our network infrastructure, not
capable of fully participating in the back-end message infrastructure
due to its stateless architecture. The founder of Kaazing, Jonas
Jacobi, is coming this summer to India's biggest summit for the
developer ecosystem - Great Indian Developer Summit (http://
www.developersummit.com/) to speak on HTML 5 WebSockets, the one
innovation, in particular, that will enable full-duplex HTTP
communication, and finally bring an end to the tired 'click and wait'
paradigm traditionally associated with the Web, and allow browsers to
become first class citizens in our network.

The author of 'Pro JSF and Ajax: Building Rich Internet Components'
says that prior to the introduction of WebSockets, bi-directional
browser communication has been an elusive beast. Attempts to address
this gap in the Internet architecture has circled around server-
initiated message deliver or "push" techniques, commonly known as
Comet or ReverseAjax, and typically achieved with an astonishing
assortment of browser hacks. But with the emerging standards outlined
in the HTML 5 specification developers can now take advantage of a
full-duplex communications channel that operates over a single socket.
More specifically, WebSockets enable browsers to open a socket
connection to any TCP-based back-end service (for example, JMS, JMX,
IMAP, Jabber, and so on) allowing you to easily create applications
such as Web-based chat, and online trading, betting, and
collaboration.

The 16-year software veteran, who previously worked at Brane and
Oracle, will also speak on the future of the Web, Web technologies,
address the importance of browser support of the HTML 5 standard, and
offer insight into the key role developers' play in HTML 5's
proliferation and the impact on the end users.
