AJAX - First Steps
April 6, 2006 | In Development |I have just finished reading a book on Ajax from one of my favourite computing publishers, Wrox. The book was entitled ‘Professional AJAX’, but I think the professional was a bit over the top for anybody with any programming experience.
I think it is a useful and interesting idea. Coming from a background of desktop application development, it is interesting to see how web developers are implementing the kinds of things that have been taken for granted with your standard desktop app. It is also interesting to see how the web is moving more towards the presentation of a richer user experience.
I just hope people know when to stop with it, I have seen examples of sites that go that little bit too far and overuse it.
