Listen kids, AJAX is not cool

The Last Craft? Marcus' blog on Agile Web Development >> Listen kids, AJAX is not cool: "I cannot think of a worse collision of technologies than low level user interfaces with requests over the internet. The delays and failures of internet traffic are especially painful in this environment and, from the AJAX demos I’ve seen, the developers aren’t helping."

....
"Even when the process is improved, there is no guarantee that we have enhanced the user experience."

....
"AJAX does have some uses. If you are exploring a dataset, you don’t want to fetch the core data again on every attempt to expand just a portion of the information."

....
"AJAX has possibilities, but it’s not there yet. Not as a community and not with the tools. Web developers cannot become GUI developers overnight. We need time."

bottom line er vel at det er store fall-gruver...
