Ive been developing web apps using php since 2003 ( i know how ridiculous it sounds ), and in mid 2006 the AJAX buzz come knocking at my door. So i try and implement this technology in my webapps projects ( total 6 projects ) and its quite funny how AJAX radically change my perspective on web based applications.

Most people doubt the power of web apps because of the limitations such as page transition, trouble in printing, and the time consumed for loading depends on the speed of the connections. But now, AJAX with its quick response and saving the time for page transitions. Literally like running a desktop applications using your browser.

Ajax13, an ajax deveper company even released office suite based on ajax. There’s AjaxWrite, ajaxWindows, ajaxPDA, etc. All these remarkable applications, simply break the prototype of a slow-response web based applications.

Whats the matter? Cat got your tongue?!? Try to visit Script.aculo.us , a great ( and i mean GREAT ) resource for web2.0 javascript. Its basically a class library for all great effects made using javascript to impersonate desktop applications.
