Seven Technologies That Change Everything
Good basic definition of Ajax plus seven other technologies ...
"1. AJAX
WHAT IT IS: Software tools that make browser-based applications behave more like software running on a PC.
WHY IT'S HOT: Most Web apps require that a new webpage be sent to a user to accomplish each individual step in a task, which explains why they're often sluggish. But Ajax (the name stands for asynchronous JavaScript and XML) lets new data trickle in, updating the content of the page on the fly. You've probably already used an Ajax application: It's the secret sauce in Amazon's A9 search, Google’s (GOOG) Gmail service, Netflix's movie ratings, and Yahoo’s (YHOO) Flickr photo website. Yet Jesse James Garrett of San Francisco-based Web consultancy Adaptive Path, who came up with the name Ajax, believes its real impact will be in enterprise applications -- speeding the work of remote employees. Business process and integration software company Tibco has already started incorporating Ajax into its General Interface platform. And Microsoft (MSFT) is working on an Ajax developer kit -- a sure sign that it's ready for the big time.
KEY PLAYERS: Amazon (AMZN), Google, Microsoft, 37signals, Tibco Software (TIBX), and Yahoo." continued ... (Via Business 2.0)
