He will also discuss advanced technologies for multi-tier architectures, caching and web page design. Actual website data and examples will be used, including sites for sporting spectaculars, eCommerce, on-line trading and on-line banking. The second part of the program will involve discussion between Dr. Chiu and the audience.
