Microsoft Plans Support For Ajax | |

Microsoft said late Monday it's developing a tool code-named Atlas that programmers will use to quickly write fast-loading Web sites. A do-it-yourself approach to Web software called Ajax has led to a new breed of fast, highly interactive sites and includes Google and Yahoo developers among its adherents. Now large technology vendors that rely on keeping software developers in their fold are either downplaying the trend--or in Microsoft's case, trying to capitalize on it. Microsoft said late Monday it's developing a tool code-named Atlas that programmers will use to quickly write fast-loading Web sites that employ code running in a Web browser. | ||

Heh... some blogger invents a term to described what people (including Microsoft) have been doing for years, and then Microsoft annouces they will be supporting what they have already been supporting for years.
Ah... good times. |

#2 - Thanks. I know what AJAX is.
"However true Ajax involves an Ajax "engine" which is loaded into the browser and which manages all aspects of page updating, navigation and data fetching via XML over HTTP." Um, no, it doesn't. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX In fact, "AJAX" has been used in web applications since Microsoft started include the XMLHTTP object with IE many, many years ago. I have been implementing "AJAX" style applications for at least 3 years, and they were created by others long before that. The fact that people have developed generic libraries that make writing "AJAX" apps easier, doesn't mean it's something new... any more than me writing some wrappers for ADO makes web-driven applications "new". |
