New Ajax Technology Section

While we are certainly not among the world's most reknown programmers, we do try to stay on top of things. And while lately our blog has taken a turn toward marketing, we're trying to get more balanced to include more technology and code samples. This brings us to the recently named Ajax technology.
Ajax technology was actually invented by Microsoft, somewhere around 1998. It's recent wildly popularity is due to the constant growing demand by developers and marketers to be on the bleeding edge.
There are dozens of sites now on Ajax technology, offering code libraries for all to use. We'll be bringing these to you as time permits.
Meanwhile, take a look at http://www.gregphoto.net/sortable/index.php and move some of the photos around to see the simplicity and user friendly way that Ajax can be used to benefit an end user.
The website Scriptaculous (http://script.aculo.us/) is one of the new Ajax / JavaScript libraries created to for the 'Web 2.0'. It includes extensive JavaScript libraries. Scriptaculous was developed by Thomas Fuchs and has a ton of features that can be used in AJAX type of applications, including drag-and-drop effects, and a ton of browser visual effects. The drag-and-drop effects, most notably the sortables look great, they are so easy to implement, and they're just so much nicer than the standard listbox with up/down arrows that you see in today's web-based applications and admin tools.
Also for fun and to further test and tinker with Ajax apps and technology, be sure to visit the Microsoft-owned www.start.com.
Enjoy!
