I think the anyone moving towards AJAX implementations or towards publishing a book on it should move with caution.
I think a _great_ idea would be to publish different ways of producing the same rich application, along with the pros and cons of each: AJAX, Flex, that open-souce Flex alternative whose name I have just forgotten, Java applets, etc. AJAX is a wild technology. It's definitely got a big bang for the buck, but it can be a true pain in the ass. I've done some heavy AJAX work, and there are very good reasons I'm now moving towards Flex 2. -Joe On 10/24/05, Jake. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi.
