I would give credit to the killer applications built using JavaScript/DHTML by Google and then others following suit. "Hey, if it works for Google why wouldn't it work for me?" So everyone starts playing with the tech and it gets a new name -- AJAX. The AJAX phenomenon is nothing but testimony to the pent up demand for better user experiences on the web. Developers are willing to go out of their way, do all sorts of hacks, to create better experiences. It's like the Perl/CGI wave before J2EE or PHP or Rails. Who creates web apps in Perl/CGI anymore? There's always a right tool for the job. Like Flex :) ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get Bzzzy! (real tools to help you find a job).
