The Year of AJAX

If you're interested in my $0.02 on AJAX, check out my Public Static editorial in JavaPro magazine. Here's an excerpt:

If your head wasn't in the sand during 2005, you've probably heard of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). Just in case you're wiping the sand out of your hair right now, here's a brief overview. AJAX is a rebranding of technologies introduced in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) several years ago. These technologies, branded by Microsoft as Dynamic HTML (DHTML) include HTML, an implementation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), plus the ability to manipulate a page with JavaScript through the browser's Document Object Model (DOM).

• Hello Kito,

  Great book. I have combined the JSF and AJAX and feel it is a great match.

  JSF and AJAX comboBox:

  The component based development will really help developers save time and improve quality.

  Any thougts on how to provide a quality standard with JSF components? I am thinking junit tests but am not sure how they will work with the JSF framework.

  Cheers,
