Mark your calendars! Java User Group Switzerland (JUGS) is organizing an event on Rich Internet Applications (RIA) in Zurich:


Date: 14th November 2007
Time: 16:30
Location: Technopark, Zurich, Switzerland

Register here.

The event will focus on RIA and AJAX for enterprise applications and will provide a good overview of the opportunities and benefits.

About the speakers:

Canoo’s CTO, Bruno Schäffer will start the JUGS RIA event with an overview of the challenges that lie ahead. Bruno has been speaking at various conferences such as Jazoon, SD West and JavaOne.

Björn Müller is the founder of Casabac, which was later acquired by Software AG. He will share his experiences on using AJAX in an enterprise context.

I heard him speak at a W-JAX conference and there are some conference videos floating around like the one above.

And we are really excited that Ryan Stewart of Adobe is coming all the way from Seattle:

I first heard about Ryan Stewart via other RIA blogs, and started following his blogs: Digital Backcountry and The Universal Desktop. In Robert Scoble’s words:

Ryan is proving that he’s being an authority on the marketplace and not just a corporate shill for Adobe.

I would like to announce a customer questionnaire that we – the Canoo UltraLightClient team – have prepared and put live today.

Yet another survey? Yes, maybe. But it is a short one, with only 3 questions. And even better, it is a kind of a customer wish list. You as a ULC customer can tell us what features we should add to future ULC releases, what bugs we should fix first and what we should improve in general. This feedback is very important to us as it will help us to improve and address your requirements.

And even better: by participating in this questionnaire, you can win a brand new iPod Touch with Canoo engraving! (Just to show how important your customer feedback is to us ) Just make sure you provide your name, company and email address (so we can notify you about the prize – just in case).

Questionnaire
You can find the questionnaire at http://www.canoo.com/questionnaire. The questionnaire is open until October 24, 2007. The winner of the iPod Touch will be notified on October 26, 2007 by email.

Thank you for helping us to improve UltraLightClient even further – for you, our customers!

(update October 24th) The questionnaire closes today. The questionnaire is no longer accessible.
