Ajax Tutorial: Ajax What Is It Good For?
Nice tutorial.

In this tutorial I will be using xmlhttprequest to represent both versions: the xmlhttprequest object itself, (supported by, Firefox, Opera 8, Safari and later Mozilla builds and the Microsoft equivalent activeX object. I do this for the sake of brevity rather than anything else.

We are going to walk through the basics of Ajax and culminate in the building of a little Ajax powered Fading Image Gallery application. In this way it hoped that a deeper appreciation for what Ajax is capable of is conveyed. It also should be noted that in another upcoming tutorial, we will tweak that Image Gallery widget and add some form processing capabilities to it, add some more FX, get a few glitches out of that system and so on.

You got your Ajax in my Ruby
I signed up for Textdrive this week. I selected Rails as the open source project I wanted to support. Right now only Rails interests me on the server side. Ajax in exquisite synergy allows the client experience to be enhanced as well.

The taste sensation of the Rails/Ajax sweetmeat lies in baking Ajax right into the framework. Through the object-oriented Javascript library Prototype and a set of helper tags, Rails is making Ajax part of the process of developing web applications rather than another layer to be grafted on in a completely different way (and historically by a different person or team). To quote David Heinemeier Hansson, chief Ruby on Rails wrangler: "Instead of trying to soften the blow of doing client-side Javascript libraries as many others are doing, we've gone ahead and more or less removed the need for hand-written client-side javascript entirely."

wow. and double wow. With native support for Ajax Ruby on Rails is my ideal framework.

[...]make Rails the nicest environment for writing DHTML applications. And now Rails 0.11 is out of the gates and includes my new Prototype Javascript library and a super-cool Javascript Helper that makes “Ajaxifying” your application unbelievably simple.
