Montreal, Quebec (PRWEB) February 28, 2012
With the release of MyAjaxApp.com, a new opportunity for supporting data-driven Ajax applications is launched. MyAjaxApp.com is now providing an easy, affordable and scalable way to construct a database that is instantly available for JavaScript programmers. This system is aimed towards small to medium sized companies who have been unable to build or use a database system, due to cost, infrastructure and technical barriers.
To create a SaaS web service that has the potential to be offered to a lot of customers, a non multi-tenant system will not be effective. Building a SaaS offering that can scale is a huge undertaking for development and is practically impossible for most people, due to its high cost. MyAjaxApp.com believes they have the solution to this in AjaxDB. AjaxDB is a true multi-tenant database system, or database-as-a-service, and is built from a new Multi-tenant Poly-schema data model designed and created by Jerry Visser. ?Our system is multi-tenant right out of the box, and so is your use of the system,? says Jerry, ?AjaxDB doesn?t even know how to be single tenant.? ?Our database service is multi-tenant at the table level, table schema level and at the table view level.?
Typically, database systems are designed for engineers and require complicated code to connect, create and manage information, even for simple solutions. There are less and less skilled programmers, yet all traditional database providers continually target engineers. Using AjaxDB greatly simplifies the development of data-driven web applications and SaaS offerings because it does not require database administrators or software engineers. Jerry Visser states, ?We designed AjaxDB and the ajaxPlugin specifically for web designers, rather than programmers. We wanted the people who create web pages to also have the power to easily design and integrate the database with it. This will make it so much easier to build and launch a new web service. Now, anyone with JavaScript skills can build a database too.?
AjaxDB is a database-as-a-service where there is no software installation ever, and no software development kits. Other providers still require the download and installation of software on the customer server. MyAjaxApp.com provides a JavaScript library, ajaxPlugin, which creates a database connection to AjaxDB across domains. Also included on MyAjaxApp.com is a point-and-click online database management system, where a designer creates tables, tenant categories, tenants, XML subscriptions, and can input/modify database records. All this makes creating a database table easy for any web developer and takes only milliseconds to become instantly available or edited for a website or service. A web developer using AjaxDB can use data in the tables at any web hosting company, opening up web development to endless front-end solutions.
Many small to medium sized businesses have not been able to take advantage of SaaS and cloud-based services, because they are still too costly. MyAjaxApp.com aims to bridge this technical and cost gap by providing a database system that is easy to use and affordable. Using AjaxDB provides a revolutionary and refreshing approach to database development.
MyAjaxApp.com is a new company based in Montreal Canada, with their premier product, AjaxDB, conceived and in development since 2005. MyAjaxApp.com was founded by Jerry Visser, who graduated from British Columbia Institute of Technology where he studied Electrical and Computer Engineering. Since 2004 Jerry has been creating enterprise data-driven solutions in Canada.

Nitobi’s primary focus is enabling developers to build great user experiences on the web. Complete UI cross-platform components help solve web application usability challenges via rich feedback using animation, skinned dialogues, and client-side, Ajax-driven interactivity. By purchasing Nitobi’s easy to implement, off-the-shelf Ajax components, developers can save hundreds of hours of development time, and build web applications that exceed expectations.
“We truly believe developers want to build usable, intuitive software, not just get the job done. We pick up where open source frameworks like Prototype and Dojo leave off. Our off-the-shelf, cross platform components make building web applications easier, particularly in the enterprise where usability and productivity is key,” said Nitobi co-founder Andre Charland.
Nitobi’s Complete UI suite is made up of the follow Ajax components:
Callout — A rich, skinnable tool-tip that prompts users with real-time feedback and helpful instructions as they navigate through an application.
Tabstrip — Folder tabs for navigation to different sections of a web application via Ajax or iFrame requests.
Tree — A hierarchical data view, similar to the folder view in Windows Explorer.

West Palm Beach, FL (PRWEB) February 10, 2006 -?
Hard Rock Hotel?s is scheduled to debut one of its newest properties this spring in Madrid, Spain. Hard Rock Hotels was looking for a new intuitive graphical user interface for its booking engine which would allow consumers to easily book their stay at the hotel.
Sol Melia Hotels and Resorts, Hard Rock Hotel?s management company for some of its properties, turned to its interactive agency on record Boalt Advertising for the solution. Boalt Advertising has designed and developed several booking engines since its inception for hotels such as Paradisus, Gran Melia, Royal Palm in South Beach and Paramount Hotel in New York.
The new Hard Rock Hotel booking engine includes a simple three step process where the sections of the screens update themselves dynamically to present the user with feedback immediately using AJAX. AJAX, known as Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, communicates with the server without refreshing the page such as traditional web applications. Ruby on Rails the web framework, allowed Boalt Advertising to develop and rapidly deploy custom booking engines for each hotel.
Hard Rock Hotels decided to leverage new technologies such as Ruby on Rails and AJAX to create a more compelling and robust booking experience. ?We found that the previous booking engine which was developed using Macromedia Flash was rigid and inflexible in terms of maintenance and customization? said Nick Dominguez, Art Director from Boalt Advertising. It was also difficult for Boalt Advertising to track abandoned bookings with the Flash engine. The new and improved AJAX engine provides a modular solution that is light, scaleable and maintainable.
In addition, ?Ruby on Rails has provided Boalt Advertising with the ability to deploy complex web applications in weeks rather then months? said Bill Teubner, President of Boalt Advertising.
Boalt Advertising is a full-service advertising agency based out of West Palm Beach, Florida. By combining a variety of interactive capabilities and traditional marketing services with a unique approach to lead and sales generation, Boalt Advertising focuses exclusively on using media and technology to deliver unmatched results. Over the course of our six plus years in existence Boalt Advertising has crafted creative and eBusiness solutions for clients as diverse as Bacardi, FedEx and P. Diddy.

(PRWEB) June 7, 2006
Online flower boutique Serenata Flowers today established itself as an Internet innovator with the launch of several new website features that show how ecommerce can engage in the Web 2.0 model popularised by community-driven sites.
The three new developments on SerenataFlowers.com ? super-quick image loading, an intuitive product-finding filter and a product ?quick view? ? have exploited the possibilities of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) to enhance usability without compromising search engine optimisation or compatibility with disability guidelines.
AJAX, which enables a speedier, more responsive website by executing requests client-side as opposed to server-side, is one of the technologies driving the evolution of a second generation of web services and applications that deliver a richer, more collaborative user experience. Although Web 2.0 has been popularised by social networking sites such as Flickr, del.icio.us, and Google Maps, ecommerce companies have typically been slow to adopt the new paradigm.
Serenata Flowers will be enjoying more than just the kudos of being an early adopter, however. The AJAX implementations on the company?s website allow visitors to overcome the two main obstacles to online usability that are directly linked to poor sales.
Slow speeds on Serenata Flowers? image-intensive website are now a thing of the past, thanks to a revolutionary download-minimising technique. High-resolution images are a double-edged sword: presenting the luxurious flowers at their best, but trying users? patience as they take a long time to display. The new AJAX image loader now loads lower-resolution images to deliver instant visual gratification. Behind the scenes, high-resolution versions of the images are simultaneously downloaded and gradually replace the poorer-quality duplicates without the visitor noticing.
Meanwhile, the product wizard and quick view allow visitors to quickly scan and search for their flowers, filtering the catalogue by price, colour and product name. According to UIE.com, sites that reduce the need to pogo-stick between category lists and product pages can increase sales by as much as 225 per cent.
James Saunders, Head of Ecommerce at Serenata Flowers, is enthusiastic about the potential benefits of AJAX, despite its slow uptake by the UK?s online retailers: ?There are very few well-known UK ecommerce sites that are using AJAX currently. Part of the reason for that is that the ?best? example is known to have cost $ 10m and therefore it?s perceived there is high cost associated with adding these types of features. In truth, it is pretty simple technology, and as long as you know the ?gotchas?, creating improved experiences should be very cost effective.? Sounds like there could be even more avant-garde AJAX applications on SerenataFlowers.com in the coming months?
Serenata Flowers is passionate about flowers and totally committed to offering the best in floristry at affordable prices. It?s also the UK?s fastest-growing online florist and largest independent retailer of flowers. By cutting out middlemen, rejecting the relay network model, and sourcing fresh flowers direct from the best growers around the world, Serenata is able to deliver fresher, more luxurious flowers and pass on significant cost savings to customers.
With distribution centres in London and Birmingham, Serenata Flowers is able to offer same-day delivery of floral gifts to 70 per cent of the UK?s population and next-day delivery to the whole of the UK.

AJAXWORLD, New York, NY (PRWEB) March 21, 2007
MB Technologies(TM) announced today the release of InfiView, the first development platform for creating interactive and dynamic graphical Ajax applications. InfiView advances the move toward web-based software by enabling developers to build infinite-sized Web 2.0 mind maps, network topologies, organization charts, LDAP tools and technical diagrams.
InfiView uses Ajax technology and its own unique dynamic memory management to enable developers to systematically create graphical web applications using any amount of data (from very small all the way to infinite). With InfiView-built web-applications, end-users seamlessly interact (pan, zoom, right-click for actions?) with all types of graphical data – such as network topologies, DNA sequences or genealogy charts – oblivious to the vast amounts of data available.
MB Technologies established its industry leadership with its flagship framework, Bindows, recently featured on the cover of InfoWorld as one of the leading Ajax platforms for large enterprise web applications. 100% built in Bindows, InfiView is built on top of the Bindows framework which is back-end/server agnostic, and provides best-in-industry support for section-508 accessibility compliance, internationalization and localization.
“I’m very impressed with InfiView,” said Alexander Tkachman, chief operating officer at JetBrains, an award winning international software solutions developer. “It looks like a very smart platform based on really cool technology. Now Ajax no longer lacks interactive diagramming.”
“People need to see data in the form of charts and diagrams in order to understand it,” said Yoram Meriaz, CEO at MB Technologies. “Up until now, there has not been a systematic solution for zero footprint diagramming. MB technologies solved this problem by identifying shared mathematical characteristics behind each of these elements. InfiView is the framework that we built on top of this foundation to enable developers to expedite time to market with infinitely scalable graphical applications.”
For more information about InfiView, please visit MB Technologies’ booth at AjaxWorld, contact Ran Meriaz at 678.267.3940, or visit http://www.infiview.com
About MB Technologies
