Great Indian Developer Summit 2008 to be held on May 19-23
2008 shall welcome Father of Ajax, Jesse James Garrett. He shall talk about
"Delivering Long-Term Value in a Short-Term World". For designers of
complex, interactive products, the pressure is greater than ever. Shifting
competitive landscapes bring new business challenges. Rapid technological
change opens up new creative possibilities -- and makes others obsolete before
they ever get to market. Jesse James Garrett will examine emerging trends in
interactive product design that suggest new strategies to deliver value without
getting trapped by reactive, short-term thinking. He'll look at what some of
the most successful products today have in common, and why product designers
might need to abandon the idea of a "product" in order to survive.
Jesse James Garrett is one of the world's most widely
recognized technology product designers. Every day, product designers around
the world depend on Jesse's tools and concepts, which have been published in
more than a dozen languages. His book, The Elements of User Experience, has
been called "brilliant" and "essential" and is considered
one of the seminal works on user-centered design. In 2005, Jesse gained
worldwide attention for coining the term Ajax
and defining the concepts behind this emerging trend in Web technology. Jesse
is the recipient of WIRED Magazine's 2006 Rave Award for Technology. He has
been named one of the "50 Most Important People on the Web" by PC
World magazine, one of the "Top 100 Most Influential People in IT" by
eWeek magazine, and one of the top 100 technology industry leaders by Software
Development Times magazine.
