Is AJAX programming hard? Who said so??
Its needs breaking new ground anyway. Just updating some part of a web page
without refreshing is not AJAX - just JAX , although it uses
XMLHttpRequest. The new ground is in understanding what actions you can
allow the user while the AJAX call is yet to return (remember it might even
fail to return). Requires UI design skills different from the regular thick
client UIs and the regular webpages.
Well you can include a whole new set of accessibility problems that are
brought in when you use AJAX, but thats not part of AJAX anyways.
So, essentially AJAX is easy, but the way to tackle problems itauto saving draft in GMail is nice use. but it give me some jerk while
introduces is interestingly difficult.
You can see the draft auto-saving in GMail is a nice use of AJAX (yes
its asynchronous), but tell me, would implementing it be difficult? Not
at all.
