Overview of AJAX
AJAX can be used to create rich, responsive UI (user interfaces) and more efficient
communication between the user's computer and the server on which a Website
is hosted on. It is powerful and cross-browser compatible, unlike Flash which requires
users to have special plug-ins to use.
What this section is for.
In the navigation area to the left you will find different functionalities you can do with
AJAX. Right now I'm featuring technologies found in Atlas, which is
Microsoft's technology for integrating AJAX into ASP pages. As I develop my new site I will
add other technologies, some that work in both ASP and XHTML pages. If you don't understand
these abbreviations don't fret, just rest assured that I can find the technologies that will
work for you. These previews are just to help find solutions for your website that you may
not have known exist.
Adobe AJAX Spry
The Next Technology I'll be adding periodically is Spry. This is a cross-platform solution from
Adobe that utilizes AJAX to accomplish different effects. For now the only preview I have up is
my portfolio page. One of the key advantages this technology is the
fact it will work on any Website whether XHTML, PHP, ASP, CFM or any other technology that was used to
create your Website.
