AJAX (web 2.0) updates
January 20, 2006 – 1:06 amI’ve been looking into additional AJAX related resources and stumbled across an interesting wiki dealing with Ruby on Rails. The site has some interesting demo links. The actual wiki is part of the script.aculo.us website which aims to be:
easy-to-use, compatible and, ultimately, totally cool JavaScript libraries to
make your web sites and web applications fly, Web 2.0 style.
This is quite a bit of hype, however I must say the examples and the code itself intrigues me.
One excellent link I came across while on the site deals with AJAX debugging. The tamperdata extension, which works in Firefox and Mozilla, allows you to view all HTTP/HTTPS requests (and filter). This lets you see every post made by every asynchronous call. I can’t wait to give this a try in an application environment. I’m not so much interested in tampering right now as I am having a simple means of viewing a filtered list of POSTs.
For the future, I am going to take a look at Ruby on Rails. This is the buzzword of the moment (the last X number of months), so I am going in a bit skeptical, however I am certainly open to new methods of development. We’ll see what time brings.
