In this presentation, Chris gives an introduction to Web2.0, shows the technical features and business values of EGL, and demonstrates how easily extensible the EGL solution is. A guest speaker, Stefan Andreasen of Kapow Technologies, then showed how to easily convert existing web1.0 assets into services. Stefan converted a static HTML website to an XML feed which was then consumed by EGL Rich UI. Live demos were given of how existing data/information can be modernized into state-of-the-art web2.0 interface, using the latest techniques, such as Ajax, and iPhones.

At RSDC 2008 we had a conference scheduler writen in EGL.
Slide 16 implies that such scheduler exists for IOD 2008.
Where could I find a link ?

:-)

We cloned the RSDC scheduler for the AjaxWorld conference: http://eglrichui.demos.ibm.com/

At the IOD Conference, I got together with the CTO of Kapow to scrape the IBM conference site. In a matter of hours we had a version of the scheduler that was fed with IOD data. We never published the scheduler online. One of the challenges is that the schedule is close to 1MB. This pushes the scheduler to a size where we would consider better compression of the data.

Seeing how fast we were able to create this scheduler from scratch (2 hours in total), we may do it for more conferences in the future.
