The Current State of Ajax

Dion Hinchcliffe writes "Ajax hasn't even been big a year yet and already open source development tools by the dozen are pouring out. Not to mention big names like TIBCO and Microsoft already have previews on the way of full-fledged IDEs for developing Ajax applications. Ajax may be the biggest software development story of 2005. Dion Hinchcliffe has a detailed article about how Ajax has evolved over the last six months and assesses the current state of tools, libraries, and mindshare. He also points out that Ajax will inadvertently end up being a driving force for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) for many organizations since it requires high performance back-end XML services."

You could see the dupes as the editors approved them.

The Current state of ajax?

I think you can still find the cleanser at any Wal-Mart, Meijer or Kroger. ;)

...Perl in oysters, Ruby in North Carolina, Afghanistan, and Tanzania, CAML in the Zahara and Gobi, Orca in the north Pacific, C in the alphabet, Ada in Babbage's budoir...

OMG, I'm snickering so loudly at this that the co-op near me must think I'm insane.

Would the script read something like:
ed finger perl man kill ed
perl man split
man grep perl tail

... Nevermind, somehow my brain just went south.

I'm working under the Bourne Shell to write some code for a new server process, the Matt Daemon.

Ruby on Rails settles everything

[duffbeer703]

Ruby on Rails and AJAX makes everything else obsolete. A coworker and I just implemented the J2EE spec in 25 minutes. We're working on the win32 api on monday!

Re:Ruby on Rails settles everything

[Anonymous Coward]

25 minutes? Didn't you see the helper code?

def my_app
J2EE.instance.run
end

I swear, Ruby is being overrun by newbies who insist on doing everything the slow way.

Ajax hasn't even been around a year yet?!

[Flinx_ca]

Ajax has been around for 50 years...

I tried to get him to talk to me, but he was still muttering some shit about armor and went back into Erebus. So his current state: dead and bothered.

What is Ajax? Free Karma to the best answer.

William Colgate started a candle and soap making company in New York City in 1806. By 1906, the company was making over 3,000 different soaps, perfumes and other products. For example, Colgate Dental Cream was introduced in 1877. In 1864, Caleb Johnson founded a soap company called B.J. Johnson Soap Co., in Milwaukee. In 1898, this company introduced a soap made of palm and olive oils, called Palmolive. It was so successful that that the B.J. Johnson Soap Co. changed their name to Palmolive in 1917. Another soap making company called the Peet Brothers Co. of Kansas City started in 1872. In 1927, Palmolive merged with them to became Palmolive Peet. In 1928, Palmolive Peet merged with Colgate to form Colgate-Palmolive-Peet. In 1953, the name was shortened to just Colgate-Palmolive. Ajax cleanser was one of their first major brand names introduced in the early 1940s.

Acronyms galore

Could you use some more acronyms? I haven't gouged out my eyes far enough yet.

Yeah, I have the same problem when people talk about Mambo (the PHP-based CMS)

excellent idea for an unwanted slashdotting.

[Anonymous Coward]

"It'd be much more effective to just grep slashdot's front page for a link to your site whenever you detect a visitor has been refered from slashdot. If there's a match, start blocking connections from everywhere except coral cache and the various automated article mirror sites."

Or you could simply redirect Slashdotters to Goatse.cx and have some fun.
