If you're near the Google campus this Wednesday, Oct 21, please stop in for the Ajax Push Panel:The Chronicles of Web Standard Prince Comet: Next Wave of Comet. I'll be there along with Alex Russell, Michael Carter, Greg Wilkins, and Dylan Schiemann. It should be a good opportunity to discuss the impact of Google Wave and Cloud Computing on push technologies. Should Google support Servlet 3.0 in the Google App Engine, or should they force people to use proprietary technologies? Should ICEfaces Ajax Push be split out into a separate push server, available with no dependency on JSF?
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

By Sergio De SimoneIn this article, we explore how AI agents are reshaping software development and the impact they have on a developer’s workflow. We introduce a practical approach to staying in control while working with these tools by adopting key best practices from the discipline of software architecture, including defining an implementation plan, splitting tasks, and so on.
