Making Magic Happen: Predicting User Behavior in AJAX applications
Quantifying user experience will increase business acceptance ...
"We need better metaphors to explain the value of rich clients to business decision makers. We need proof that richer user experiences make business sense.
Reducing system latency (the time that users are waiting for the system) is an uncontroversial goal. Developers and designers, even if they agree on little else, agree that fast systems are much better than slow ones. In fact, speed is an intuitively valuable attribute of an application. A good way to articulate the value of rich clients is to frame it in terms of making faster applications.
From an engineering perspective, making faster applications is a basic part of the engineering job description: making the most performant system, given existing hardware constraints. There are two strategies to squeeze more performance out of a system: optimizing the actual execution of code, and harvesting unused system resources to do work before the user asks for it. AJAX is an example of the latter case." continued ... (Via Jonathan Boutelle)
