- maverick999, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Microsoft has posted the beta version of their AJAX library for .NET:
http://digg.com/programming/ASP.NET_Atlas_Framework_is_available - bcnewman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1jesusphreak - speak for yourself, some of us would prefer to understand how a technology works rather than blindly using a pre-written lib.
- diecastbeatdown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ive seem some examples and code sites recently but this one is nice and simple. thanks for the link, i'm going to use it to get started on my new ajax site.
- Ares, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0^^^^^ right on
- kortina, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very nice. this is perfect for someone trying to write an ajax script for the first time. i wish i had read it when i started coding with ajax.
- DannyB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, very nice intro.
- RyanOC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I hate when people act so "above" others
- tarun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ajax help from a reliable source
Digg+ - kewlceo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Good stuff, easy to follow and try out.
- RyanOC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0excellent, I love simple examples.
- fleabag, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i like cpaint which is a toolkit for ajax.. much simpler to follow
cpaint.sf.net - AB-R, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very good article.
- dionalmaer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We talk a lot about Ajax over at the Ajaxian community, and would love for anyone to participate.
We also have a podcast on Ajax (e.g. http://www.ajaxian.com/archives/2005/09/audible_ajax_ep.html)
Cheers,
Dion Almaer - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0that was really helpful
- calculus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice.. Great Introduction.
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Is today Ajax day on Digg?
- james.britt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Not overwhelmingly informative, but it has a feature rarely seen in many so-called AJAX articles: It actually uses XML.
- ericpp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Many old things have been relabeled as "new": blogs, podcasts, and vidcasts.
I guess I really don't mind these terms since they seem to lead to a greater adoption of these technologies than they normally would have. - SpookyET, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Common, stop it already. AJAX this and AJAX that. It's not new. It's been there since 1999. It was called data islands before or remote scripting. Some moron comes out of nowhere calling it AJAX and we got something old relabeled as something new. It's been there for a long time. It's DHTML (1999 technology).
- noahhendrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought the "A" in AJAX stood for "and" not coupled with "J" for "JavaScript"..
- djork, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0So now that all the n00bs in teh world know about XMLHTTPRequest (understanding it is another story) what do I turn to to be cutting-edge again?
- jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Prototype is the library built into Ruby on Rails. Here is a link that will give you more information on what is possible with it (look towards the bottom):
http://prototype.conio.net/ - rc_collins, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Enough with the basic intro examples. This stuff is years old, how about some advanced examples?
- jesusphreak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0You don't actually code with AJAX.
Basic stuff like this is pretty worthless. What is really worth checking out are libraries that are already written that will plug into PHP, or using frameworks that have AJAX built in like Ruby on Rails.
With RoR, coding something in AJAX takes about one extra word. Instead of writing "link_to" which would denote a regular link, you just write "link_to_remote". That's how simple AJAX can be. You don't need nor want to be looking at this basic stuff. - bcnewman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0jesusphreak
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0isn't ajax bleach?
