Title: AJAX is the BIZZOMB
Post by: ober on October 20, 2005, 01:47:47 PM

So I wrote my first AJAX app today, and I must say I'm impressed by how easy it was.  Took me about an hour or so of screwing around, but I got it to work finally.

If anyone else is interested, I'm going to post some links in the resources thread.

did you use a toolkit or write from scratch?

From scratch... I know there are a lot of classes and stuff out there, but I wanted to understand exactly what was going on.  Granted, I read through a few tutorials first to understand xmlhttprequest (and I still need to do more reading), but the code was all manual.

Whoa far out, look what I found: http://www.myghty.org/index.myt
I've just started learning Python, this should be quite interesting; different from writing the usual apps. I could use the support for my sites too.

AJAX looks quite interesting (found the wiki page on it).

ajax is pretty cool. You could write a tabbing for a browser with it if it wasn't for security restrictions limiting you to your own domain

//edit: i can see you used it to make editing your posts much easier

Google Maps has an API through AJAX IIRC.
