Developers who register for the program at www.tibco.com/mk/2005/gi.jsp will receive priority access to the next release of TIBCO General Interface, version 3.0, prior to its general availability later in the year. In addition, developers will benefit from invitations to exclusive briefings, educational seminars and developer community events with AJAX experts.

Available today in version 2.4, TIBCO General Interface gives browser-based applications the features and performance characteristics found in thick-client GUIs. Leveraging the asynchronous communications, javascript, and XML (“AJAX”) capabilities present in common Web browsers, TIBCO General Interface allows developers to easily deploy rich Internet applications without dependency on applets, plug-ins or installation of client/server frameworks. Using TIBCO General Interface’s breakthrough development tools -- also built using TIBCO General Interface -- developers can rapidly create powerful solutions with drag and drop speed.

"TIBCO General Interface has been powering enterprise-grade solutions since 2001, making one of the earliest products to deliver on the vision of rich-thin applications," said Ram Menon, senior vice president, Worldwide Marketing, TIBCO. "With the AJAX Accelerator Program, developers not only get their hands on a pre-release of version 3.0, but also access to the latest information, online tutorials, seminars and industry expertise on AJAX in general. This program is designed to get developers building and deploying their own Rich Internet Applications as quickly and easily as possible.”

TIBCO General Interface simplifies the complexities of AJAX development and adds powerful features including rich component libraries, drag and drop visual tooling, step-through javascript debugging, automated memory management and other enterprise-grade services.
