By Dion Almaer SproutCore is much more JavaScript focused though, and gives you MVC in the client in a simple and intuitive way.

By Dietrich Kappe Ajax and the browsers it depends on are running out of time. If the notion spreads that it isn't reliable, it will be as dead as the Java Applet, never to be heard from again. History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce. -- Karl Marx I can remember the day, back in 1994, when I abandon...

By Rey Bango With the exception of IBM(IBM)’s Watchfire AppScan, automated Web application scanners are simply not yet up to the task of finding security flaws in Ajax code.

By Michael Mahemoff Ask any self-respecting Ajax developer how they time events, and they’ll tell you “I use setTimout()” or more likely, “I use setTimeout(), duh”. However, two new Ajax patterns are making that “duh” seem just a little tenuous. One new timing technique relies on the notorious tag, the other...

By Michael Mahemoff What’s on your Ajax doc wishlist? In my recent post on current concerns with Ajax, there was a comment about lack of documentation for Dojo and Prototype.

By Dietrich Kappe Somewhat lost in the hype around the release of the Ajax API was the discontinuation of the Google SOAP Search API. It’s still available to existing subscribers, but no new ones are being signed up. To see why this discontinuation is an exercise in brand discipline, you just have to look at th...

By Ben Galbraith The month after that, Ajax2007 happens (Apr. 17 - 18). This show has also got a lot of Ajax names, including Jesse James Garrett and Bill Scott (Rico; Yahoo! Ajax Evangelist); Dion and I will also be there to greet our legion of UK Ajaxian.com fans (i.e., Dion’s family).

By Chris Cornutt With all of the utilitarian uses for Ajax that we all see every day, it’s always a nice refresher to see a site taking the technology and using it to bring an older medium back up to date.
