AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript
From Slashdot:
Javascript may have been with us since the beginning of the browser, but it’s going through a renaissance as companies like Google create Javascript-enabled tools like Google Maps . There’s even a nice, newly coined acronym , AJAX for “Asynchronous Javascript and XML”. A nice survey article from Infoworld interviews Javascript creator, Brendan Eich, who says that this is what he and Marc Andreessen planned from the beginning. Perhaps AJAX will finally deliver what Java promised. Perhaps it will really provide a solid way to distribute software seamlessly.
