    The State of Play on ODF in Massachusetts

    Friday January 27, 2006 (04:30 PM GMT)
    By: Andy Updegrove

    This article gathers information based on interviews with a variety of knowledgeable sources on the critical issues and milestones that could affect the rollout of ODF in Massachusetts. It covers the current status and expected action or due dates of the legislation intended to strip the Information Technology Division (ITD) of control of IT policy, a State Auditor's cost analysis evaluation, deadlines for accommodation of disability needs, permanent hiring of the State CIO, and ISO adoption of ODF. It concludes, "While there are significant events to watch for over the next year, the only two which, in my judgment, represent a significant impediment to a timely effective date for ODF on January 1, 2007 are these: making adequate progress on meeting accessibility needs, and confirmation by the State Auditor that the ITD's cost analysis was sound.

    Interview: ICEsoft's Stephen Maryka

    Friday January 20, 2006 (12:00 PM GMT)
    By: Rod Amis

    AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) has received a lot of attention recently because it gives developers the ability to create rich, interactive Web applications. We talked with Steve Maryka, CTO of Calgary, Canada's ICEsoft, about the benefits and challenges of AJAX techniques. ICEsoft has been developing rich Web applications since before the term AJAX was coined, and invented a technique called Direct-to-DOM rendering. DOM is an acronym for Document Object Model, and DOM manipulation via JavaScript is at the heart of all AJAX techniques.
