First Ajax book!
The Plan
•
Where have we been?
•
Where are we now?
•
Where are we going?
How’d we get here?
•
It’s all about the desktop
•
Very rich applications
•
Upgrades a pain (new hardware anyone?)
•
The Web takes center stage
•
Simplified maintenance, low barrier of entry
•
Less functional apps, browser issues
•
All about trade offs
Sorry, that’s not how it works
•
We conditioned users with thick apps
•
Then we took that all away
•
Convinced our users to accept thin apps
•
The browser pushed us towards plain vanilla
•
Applets, Flash, XUL/XAML/XAMJ
•
Fundamental Issue - Web is based on a synchronous
request/response paradigm
