Well time is getting close on two of my talks that I am doing out in California. I am already to hop on the plane from BWI and hit the West Coast to talk with some of the biggest names in Ajax.
The first talk is at Real World Ajax Seminar on April 24 in San Jose and the second one is at the Ajax Experience on May 10-12 in San Franciso. Both events are jammed packed with great speakers and giveaways. The AjaxSeminar is giving away goodies including a DVD of the last Seminar in New Yorl. There is a post on Ajaxian about the free stuff going to be given at at The Ajax Experience. You may want to think about attending the events for the goodies. Oh and I guess to see top notch presentations on Ajax! You will need another suitcase to bring the stuff home!
I can not wait to talk to developers about oversights in Ajax based applications, strange ResponseText problems you will not see in testing, and techniques to track errors in our applications. I been tracking errors from the clientside for a long time now and I will tell you what I have learned about it. Should you use an image, iframe, XHR, etc to log errors? What should I send to the server? I will try to give you some great tips that you can impress your boss with when you get back.
As I mentioned earilier, I will show you strange things that pop up in the responseText. I logged these with my Ajax Applications and it shows you why logging errors is important. Error tracking from the client will let you see stuff you could never test for.
I can not wait to do this talk. I have been wanting to do it in front of a large crowd and looks like I am going to get the chance. Hope to see you there.
