Nomad de' Return

Well i am back here for posting after real long time.This long gap was due to certain commitments that took atleast a month to resolve off.In past few days(few weeks) we have been in some serious development of a communication system design project (though we had our reviews and all, but still we made time for it). Soon we are planning to roll out a homebrew "Open Hardware" mobile device, which would certainly be a ......... well i can say that after its rolled not..to early to say something about it. Coming back to motive of this blog, I htink today i would speak about one great web technology "AJAX".
AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML (if i am right), which i got introduced at a Microsoft sponsered seminar. Now to be frank its not just another scripting language but instead its a word pretaining to the methodolgy of designing website (of web 2.0 generation) using JavaScript and XML at front end. Well the advantage of using this site is that in your webpage you can make each component operate by itself without actually refreshing the page. From Google to Microsoft everybody is shifting to these methodology.If you would like to start off then let me say you that there is no perfect or stand alone IDE that can help you build web pages with AJAX. AJAX is still in the maturing stage, from IBM to Microsoft all trying to create oe platform (IDE) so that it can be possible to develop from an IDE.
Long before AJAX was coined, these kind of methodolgies were used to make dynamic sites but they were not using this kind of implementation.Again many people think JavaScript is all about JAVA, please wave this off....JavaScript is no where like JAVA or developed by people of SUN.
So maybe this briefing is enough as for today (me getting lazy and tired to write more). Soon will post more on AJAX, regarding tools available, links, AJAX patterns and effects which maybe you can use to start off.
