Mastering Ajax Websites

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the breaking-it-down dept.

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that IBM DeveloperWorks has an interesting article introducing the uninitiated to the world of Ajax. From the article: "Ajax, which consists of HTML, JavaScript technology, DHTML, and DOM, is an approach that helps you transform clunky Web interfaces into interactive Ajax applications. The author, an Ajax expert, demonstrates how these technologies work together. Ajax is more than just the latest fad -- it's your stepping stone to build better Web sites through efficient use of your time."

    A nice example of Ajax usage can be found at http://www.meebo.com/.

  2. Have you tried Laszlo? by spoco2 · · Score: 5, Informative

    Not trying to spruik it or anything, but I'm currently working on a project of making a webapp using Laszlo.

    It's an open source language/server for creating flash based applications.

    We've found it to be very impressive how much you can do with so little code... and it's nice to have a proper OO backend to a flash frontend... the flash frontend means we can:

    a) Make our interface very pretty and like a 'normal' application
    b) Means it works in pretty much any browser...
    c) on pretty much all platforms...
    d) without a download of any plugin in most cases (just because of the penetration of flash)
