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."

  1. AJAX = OLD SCHOOL by ProVega · · Score: 0, Troll

    I have been using "AJAX" for almost 8 years now. Even back with IE4 you could use the XMLHTTP object to make "background" XML requests to the server, process the XML on the client and then modify the UI client side. Old hat. It is nice to see they finally have a name for it. Now maybe Microsoft will get rid of that crappy "server-side click" stuff and integrate this into .NET
