Ajax is a revolutionary programming technique that is not exempted from competition in terms of developing RIA. Although Ajax is virtually an open source programming technique there are licensed alternatives that could be used by developers to provide the same, client-side interaction with a few deviation. One of those competitors is Flex. Developed by Adobe, this type of client side application use the powerful Flash that should be installed in the local to properly implement online applications. This type of programming technique uses Flash, HTML and different data mark-up tools. Although it is almost the same compared to

The popularity of JavaScript is now more than five years since Ajax was introduced. As the main programming language for Ajax, developers would have to learn JavaScript or else learn to build an Ajax based application with the help of frameworks. Although frameworks could provide the expected functions without learning JavaScript, the preset functions of frameworks considerably limits the ability of the developer to be creative in building an Ajax based applications. There are frameworks that provides an almost unlimited options for customization, but it is still different when developing an Ajax based application by coding

Ajax has been developed for many years and its current status is way better when it was introduced in 2005. But there still exists that developers would have to face in developing an Ajax based application. Among the challenges for developers is on how to properly implement unobtrusive Ajax. The importance of using unobtrusive Ajax has been highlighted for some time now. By implementing unobtrusive Ajax, developers would be able to build Ajax based applications that are better performing, secured as well as user friendly. By removing the clutters, developers should be able to have a powerful Ajax based application.

XSLT or Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformation has been used by developers for nearly 10 years. This transformer for XML has been very effective on its function that version 1.0 is still used until today - even with the presence of version 2.0. Although version 2.0 is a lot superior compared to the original developers have opted to use the earlier version if they wanted to implement simpler websites. With the popularity of Ajax based online applications, XSLT has taken a new function for developers. The function has become a transformer for XML files for JavaScript. Unfortunately, there are browsers that are unable to

When iPhone was released a few years ago, the world of mobile technology practically stood still and watched how iPhone become the signal for next generation form of mobile phones. Fans and even antagonists of Apple have come out and praised the company for coming out with this innovative product. Although iPhone do not have the usual hard drive that could let you store thousands of songs it now has the touch screen capabilities that only a handful of companies have thought of. Today, it is one of revolutionary inventions of the new century. But for developers, the fun only started this year when Apple finally allowed develop

JavaScript is one of the few programming languages that allow developers to delay functions and events. The commands that delay functions and events are functions that wait for the input of the user. The delay commands will let different functions and even local configurations (such as local file association) to execute before the client side interaction starts. It is a very simple code that uses “setTimeout” as its basic command for proper execution. The commands that deal with function delays have already been extensively discussed but the delay in terms of events were not extensively covered.

Mashup represents the future of web and applications development. Mashup has been the subject of many discussions since it has become the ideal way of developing an application. Instead of using one programming language to develop a website or application, they use two or more programming languages. The increasing demands of customers and clients push developers to look for other functions just to achieve the expected performance. Mashup is achieved by combining two or more programming languages especially when an API of a popular function is available. API could be added to the existing application

Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) is used by developers in websites to generate unique IDs which will increase the security of the website as well as its users. With the help of GUID developers are assured that their online applications are safe as no two identifiers will end up being identical. It is a very simple idea developed by Microsoft which became a basic standard for security measures. GUID uses complex algorithms which increases the difficulty of attacking the application. A developer could build and integrate this small application in a website and build a highly effective application. This could be integrated in a

Adobe has been riding the waves of popularity in RIA through FLEX and Adobe AIR. The former is a direct alternative to Ajax as it replaces Flash instead of JavaScript while Adobe AIR is aimed for those who are looking for an efficient RIA. But none of these products were able to dent the popularity of Ajax. From the mere fact that Ajax is an open-source programming language to the additional complexity and less user support, these programming languages that are aimed to build an efficient RIA is not as powerful when compared to an Ajax based application. But Adobe is not going to let this go down without a fight. Even though

You were lazily browsing through different websites when you suddenly bumped into a simple yet cool Ajax based application. You were intrigued with the functions and the almost flawless rendering of the application. Knowing that you bumped into something good enough to be emulated, you start to figure out how they were able to build the highly efficient application. But doing this manually could take a lot of time and the result is not even the same, using applications that will show you the script will never help especially when the application is built with the use of an Ajax based framework. A good
