ajax Technology

To date, Ajax - the most modern technology in web design. And this fashion has come to seriously and permanently. While we note that only a single case of Ajax-interfaces, but after a couple of years Ajax technology becomes the de facto standard in web site design. That said David Smith, vice president of Gartner, speaking at the annual Gartner regional conference in Tel Aviv.

According to him, the use of Ajax is becoming more and more commonplace affair. There is no need to invest heavily in the development, as the market appeared comfortable and simple package for the development of Ajax-applications. The sin of no benefit, because Ajax offers the simplest and cheapest way to improve the visual appeal of the website.

Ajax - is more than just technology that is encrypted in abbreviature «Asynchronous JavaScript and XML». In fact, Ajax - it is an integral part of what is called «vebom next generation», that is, Web 2.0. That is why an analyst with Gartner attaches to this programming technique is of great importance. Sites that do not meet the new requirements will inevitably begin to experience difficulties.

In fact, in terms of ease of use Ajax sites and sites of previous generations - is heaven and earth. This fact is easy to verify if to check for the most famous Ajax-applications, for instance, Gmail, Google Maps or the new beta version of Yahoo! Mail.

Of course, Ajax technologies exist and negative sides. For example, does not always work correctly Buttons «Back» Ajax-browser applications. Or the inability to save a bookmark for a «page» site. In addition, Ajax-applications necessarily require that the user’s browser has been activated function scripts JavaScript.

But none of those negative things does not prevent the emergence of more and more applications Ajax. In his report to David Smith said that virtually all the new startups that have declared their involvement in Vebu 2.0 (Zimbra, 37 Signals, Flickr, SocialText and others), rely heavily on technology Ajax.

Of all the experts analysis company Gartner makes this conclusion: from 80%-term probability of 2008 mu-year sites in the style of Ajax become the dominant type of interfaces for Web applications.

It is clear that the web sites in a variety of capacities in a hurry to begin renovation design. But experts warn: conventional redesign is not enough. To get a significant effect, you need to realize and other aspects of Web 2.0, including change in the spirit of Web 2.0 business culture itself. For example, the heads of companies may have blogs to communicate with staff. This is a good beginning for the reform of business.
