New Stuff

I’m working on some new AJAX-driven interactive web stuff. AJAX is a hype-driven idea that we can make web pages interactive and asynchronous so visitors don’t have to spend all their time waiting for pages to reload.

It is a cool idea. But there is an “As Usual” here. As Usual, it works great for simple things. To make things fast and snappy and with rounded corners is a lot harder and will involve lots of JavaScript with the usual cross-browser issues.

That said, it is fun and enjoyable to work with. And it is very refreshing to break out of the one-thing-per-page idea.

Want to know more? Start at the Wikipedia entry for Ajax (programming).

For my development, I’m using Python on the server, using the Myghty template framework and the Myghty Ajax Toolkit.

  1. hey, amazing someone is actually using Myghtyjax, even though it was up on Wikipedia for awhile I never seem to hear about anyone actually using it. I just went and updated the version on the site to be that of the current release, and also added some new documentation for additional calling styles, which are used in the ZBlog demo.

    Feel free to drop a note on the mailing list about any suggestions you might have.
