AJAX summit continued

Many of the morning presenters were presenting little web tweaks: tactical improvements to a site that make it just a little bit faster, easier, or have a clearer workflow. Technorati and Flickr both showed the minor improvements that they have made to their sites. These tweaks sound like they were a LOT of work to do. This is a big problem with AJAX: doing it “right” (for all browsers) means taking on a lot of technical complexity.


One of the best demos so far have been, ironically enough, from Kevin Lynch at Macromedia (an AJAX/Flash hybrid application that uses both flash and dynamic html). Here’s a link.

Sabre demoed an incredible AJAX-enabled table that can page through / sort tables holding hundreds of thousands of records). They will be releasing the source for their framework (called RICO) in a week or so. No links so far, I will post once they go live with it. (Via Jonathan Boutelle)
