In keeping with the longstanding SYS-CON tradition of being at the very forefront of software development with all its online and offline resources, SYS-CON Media & Events jointly today announced a double whammy, launching both 'Open Web Developer's Journal' (htt p://openweb.sys-con.com) and 'Open Web Developer Summit' (http://openweb.s ys-con.com) - to be held for the first time in New York City April 21-22, 2008.

Many companies, including IBM, are beginning to find enterprise uses for Web-based Google Gadgets, including intranets, extranets and Internet applications. This talk gives an update on this fast-moving world, and the surprising ways people are taking advantage of this technology. Adam Sah is the architect of Google Gadgets and the Gadget Content Directory. Prior to Google, he was a founding engineer at several startups, among them Inktomi and Sensage, where he is a member of the board. He holds several patents in databases and Web systems.

The architect of Google Gadgets and the Gadget Content Directory, serial entrepreneur Adam Sah, will give a session at AJAXWorld 2007 (East) in New York City on 'Google Gadgets and Componentized Websites.' AJAXWorld 2007 East is taking place at The Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan, and 1000+ developers, architects, UI experts, IT managers, VCs, analysts, and interested generalists are expected to attend what will be the biggest east coast conference ever devoted to AJAX, RIAs, and Web 2.0 issues.

Six of the Web's brightest and best minds - Google's Adam Bosworth, Laszlo Systems founder David Temkin, coiner of the term 'AJAX' Jesse James Garrett, Paul Rademacher of HousingMaps.com and Google, Web 2.0 Journal editor-in-chief Dion Hinchcliffe and Microsoft MVP Sahil Malik - wrestle with a host of issues in this 'AJAX Power Panel' moderated by SYS-CON Media Group Publisher and Editorial Director, Jeremy Geelan.
