Better Web Apps With Ajax

Posted by Zonk on from the sounds-like-a-clean-idea dept.

An anonymous reader wrote to mention an article on IBM's site detailing the fundamentals of Java-based Ajax. From the article: "This article gives you a good understanding of the fundamental principles of Ajax, and a nuts-and-bolts knowledge of the client and server side components that participate in an Ajax interaction. These are the building blocks of a Java-based Ajax Web application. In addition, you will be shown some of the high-level design issues that come with the Ajax approach."

    Atlas is Microsoft's entry into the suddenly-popular-even-though-it-has-been-around-fo r-7-or-more-years AJAX trend.

    Atlas is a set of extensions to ASP.NET 2.0 that allows for web developers to use AJAX with little or no plumbing work on their part.

    It integrates with ASP.NET extremely well and maintains the "event driven" style that ASP.NET is known for.

    There is also a Channel 9 video about what Microsoft is doing on the AJAX front elsewhere.
