Discussion

Justin Gehtland is the track host of The Presentation Tier track at TheServerSide Java Symposium

In this podcast interview, Justin discusses all that has to happen on the server side in order to render Ajax and its related technologies on the client side, what the shift toward RESTful-style apps means for developers, why there's an increased focus on security as it pertains to what ends up in the browser and how all of this, and much more, will be covered in-depth at TSSJS.

Justin discusses the goal of the Presentation Tier track - To get developers thinking about the presentation tier as a distinct layer of their application, not just the output. Sessions featured in the track help you: understand the server-side technologies at your disposal for creating rich interactive Java applications, the potential impact presentation technologies can have on the design of your server-side applications, your presentation framework options, and how to quickly and securely integrate rich components into your Web apps.
