Talks at the Grails eXchange:
Hands-on Direct Web Remoting
This presentation dug into many advanced DWR features such as Reverse Ajax and the JavaScript proxy APIs. Joe started off with a simple web-based multiplayer game and illustrated how straightforward it is to create advanced effects with minimal coding. The game shows how to update any web application to react to server changes, by demonstrating advanced manipulation and server-based control of browsers. Lastly, Joe showed how DWR integrates with other Ajax libraries such as, TIBCO GI, Scriptaculous, and the Open Ajax Hub.

Advanced Web Application Security
The security landscape has changed dramatically in the past 12 months. Unless you are aware of CSRF, Javascript Highjacking and the many ways to fool an XSS filter, it's likely that your web application will not be secure. Attackers used to concentrate on ActiveX, but now Javascript, CSS and even simple HTML elements are used against websites. This session will outline the challenges facing the inhabitants of this strange word called
Web 2.0 and the options for protection, from the point of view of both site owners and web users.
