How to Develop Web Applications with Ajax: Part 1

In the past, web applications were limited because a web page had to be reloaded (or another page loaded in its place) in order for new data to be obtained. Other methods were available (without loading another page), but the techniques weren’t well supported and had a tendency to be buggy. In recent months, a technique that had not been widely supported in the past has become available to a large number of web surfers, giving developers more freedom to develop cutting-edge web applications. These applications, which asynchronously retrieve XML data via JavaScript, are affectionately known as “Ajax applications” (Asynchronous Javascript and XML applications).

Web applications can look like local applications

color wheel As Web designers we spend a lot of time trying to make our designs stand out. But sometimes it's better to blend in. And with the CSS system color keywords, you can build Web applications that look like they are actually Windows or Macintosh applications. For example, when you open up Word, it doesn't open in the Microsoft color palette. All the window bars, menus, and so on are in the color palette of your machine. And to be user friendly, Web applications can do the same thing with these keywords.

Why Did Javascript/AJAX Mop the Floor With Java, Flash and Silverlight?

"".NET is Microsoft’s answer to Java: it compiles things into bytecode, it’s multi-platform, etc. Technically, many argue that it’s “Java as it should have been�. .NET isn’t free: while the virtual machine and the language itself are ECMA standards, Microsoft’s GUI libraries and other key components aren’t. This means (surprise surprise) that you can’t write a .NET program for Microsoft Windows, and run it under GNU/Linux, even though there is a .NET virtual machine for GNU/Linux (called “Mono�). If .NET is Microsoft’s answer to Java, Silverlight is Microsoft’s answer to Flash. Silverlight allows you to run .NET applications within your browser

Flixwagon and Qik Offer Livestreaming From "Hacked" iPhones

Here’s a case in which you can’t help but think what would happen if the wireless industry made things easy. Both Qik and Flixwagon released applications this week that allow people to live stream video from their iPhone to the Internet (even though Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) doesn’t allow iPhone developers to create applications using the camera). Although the concept sounds pretty cool, I’m not sure what business sense this makes. The applications only work on “jailbroken,� or hacked iPhones, which means the two companies are fighting over a sliver of the overall iPhone market, which will likely hit 10 million before the end of this year. Still, these applications are good examples of what innovative things companies are trying to do, if only the handsets and processes were easier.
