Building Richly Interactive Web Apps with Ajax

Posted by timothy on from the you-were-there dept.

FalsePositives writes "Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications (from Adaptive Path and via Jeffery Veen) introduces their experiences with what they are calling 'Ajax' as in 'Asynchronous JavaScript + XML' aka the XmlHttpRequest Object. It is used by Google (Google Maps, Google Suggest, Gmail), in Amazon's A9, and a few others (like the map of Switzerland spotted by Simon Willison). ... Is this 'The rise of the Weblication'?"

    Browsers running remote script is a very bad thing in terms of accessibility and security and will never be acceptable to people who care about either. That's all!

    Stuff done in Javascript has a chance of not looking like ass.

    Plus, you don't have to coerce your users into downloading and installing a multi-meg JVM.

    yes, but your silly piece of Javascript didn't have a marketing manager and hundreds of vendors trying to sell the "next generation" tools behind it! TAKE THAT! HAH! Its been three years! The wheel needs to be reinvented!

    I don't understand why developers still look at HTML fix ups to make web applications rich. Especially when a tool like Macromedia's Flash allows a developer to build a rich web application with a clean interface that truly mimics a desktop application's. It offers a small foot print, interactivitey, mantains state, and can work with eneterprise backend logic (Web Services, J2EE, ASP.Net, and Coldfusion). Better solution hand down. If your interested I wrote a short white paper on why its the future of web applications at http://www.jasonmperry.com/.
