Planning an Ajax Boot Camp

Locations to be determined by your input

I have been helping people work with Ajax applications since Ajax has become popular. On all of the forums I post on and the emails I receive, the same mistakes appear over and over again that bring developer's applications to a halt. My goal was to create a course that will teach any serverside developer how to code a maintainable and scalable Ajax solution. A lot of tutorials out there that developers are using are full of bad practices.

Things that developers always do not think of is what is the consequences of not using caching on the client, what happens if I poll the server, what happens with session, and what causes that memory leak? I see people using too much business logic on the client and I see others not using enough. Others are using the XMLHttpRequest object wrong which does not show up under normal use, but get a user with an itchy trigger finger and it is all over. There are tons of things this camp will cover and I plan on posting the course outline in the near future.

The Ajax Boot Camp will be two days full of lectures and hands on programming. Locations of the camps are still currently being determined. If you would like to see us come to your part of the United States, add a comment or send me an email to askEric@pascarello.com. I know people asked me when I am coming to your area to talk; this is your chance to get me there!

If you could come to New York NY, Stamford/Hartford CT, or Boston Mass that would be great and I would love to attend. I esspecially like the hands-on part, I learn to program best that way.
I'll keep a hot cup of coffee ready for you in Seattle.
Eric, Please consider doing a class in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Thanks, Rey...
I would love an Ajax bootcamp in Silicon valley, CA. Thanks.
How about Washington, DC? Would love to come...
Answer some questions:

Cost: still working with the exact numbers.

When: mixture of weekend and weekdays depending on locations. Some people want to miss work, others can't miss work. Not sure how to please everyone!

How long: 2 days for the camp we about to promote, other camps are in the works that may be longer, but far off.

Where: It is up to you guys. I will go where I am demanded (Well my wife also has a goal to see all 50 states and she has about around 24 left so do not think I will not come out to the boonies!)

If you have a question send me an email: askEric@pascarello.com

First Location: Baltimore/Washington DC area in September exact dates and info for this talk will be posted in a few days on my site. Thought I would do the first one close to home.
I'll go anywhere for a good boot camp, but count my vote for Arizona (everybody loves the Grand Canyon :) or somewhere on the West Coast.
It would be awesome if you could have a Boot Camp in the Ft.Lauderdale / Miami area!
I am working at the SFBAY (San Francisco Bay Area) chapter of the ACM. We are organizing seminars, that usually take one day. And we do pay expenses and a small honorary but charge only just over a hundred $ for attending. We organize room and lunch, we have a mailinglist. Let me know if
A face to face sit down workshop sounds like a lovely idea, and in the Balt/DC area? perfecto!
would love to have you in silicon valley, ca. thanks
Boston would be great. You can do it as part of php boston.
You're a great public speaker. Heard you at the Ajax Experience. Definitely try to come to the NYC area.
[quote]You're a great public speaker.[/quote]

Think a few years back in college I was told I was not a great speaker in the speach course they made us take. lol

Thanks! I am getting a lot of practice since I have done over 30 talks since October. I probably done it in my sleep 1000 times too. If only my brain would turn off that geek stuff...lol

Places that seem to pop up alot from comments and flood of emails were New York, Chicago, Boston area, and North Carolina.

The big states were multiple cities in Florida, California, and Texas.

I am still looking for more locations! So I can plan a nice tour around the country!

And we are working on a website for it.
Just wondering if you have any rough guestimates as to when your Boot Camp will run. Ajax Experience has released their schedule and want to make sure it won't conflict with the planned tour.
Earlier today Ajaxian mentioned Eric Pascarello’s proposal for an Ajax Boot Camp. A two day adventure filled with lectures and hands-on coding. Some of questions Eric plans to answer with this workshop are: what is the consequences of not using ...
