Google Releases AJAX Framework

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

maquina writes "Google released a new AJAX framework based on Java. From Google's mouth: "Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language." This impressive framework promises to make AJAX available to the masses and is one more step towards Google becoming the de facto Internet platform provider."

    You know, /. was around for a really long time with no user registration whatsoever. (Anyone remember the super-secret project, AKA Everything1? Wikipedia but years earlier.) I have a feeling most longtime /.ers, including myself, took a long look at the user signup form, yawned, and continued about our merry way while the UID counter slowly crept up. Anyways, my point is having a low UID isn't a perfect measure of l33tness or how long you've been around here.
