Google Suggest
-- Google Suggest features a dynamic drop-down list box that provides possi-
ble items to search on along with the approximate number of search results.
Google Maps
-- The ability to grab a map and zoom around without requiring a postback is
just amazing. This app/service took the development world by storm when it came out.
Google GMail
-- Google GMail is a web-based email system available through Google.
Microsoft Hotmail Kahuna update
-- At the time of this writing, the Hotmail upgrade that
is referred to as Kahuna is in beta test. As a beta user of the application, I can testify to the
improved user interface and responsiveness that this application provides.
Live.com
-- The local.live.com service from Microsoft is actively using the Atlas framework, as
is nearly the entire Live.com service.
Easy Search component
-- The ASP.NET Easy Search Component provides support for search-
ing a single web site similar to the Google Suggest service available through Google.
Other component vendors
-- Component vendors such as ComponentArt, Dart, and others are
providing controls that provide a rich user experience without forcing a full postback.
In addition to third-party interest, the amount of developer interest is tremendous. For example, one
only has to put the word Ajax into a blog title to receive an increase in the number of web views. Given
the amount of third-party support and the interest of developers, it is only a matter of time before every-
one is using it.
Problems Ajax Won't Solve
Ajax is a great technology with a lot of help for typical application problems and a lot of general
promise. It will help in areas like network load and user context by sending only the necessary data,
creating less network traffic when processing a command. The user is not redirected to the top of a page
when a command is sent the server. The problem is that to successfully run Ajax, a user needs to have
the transport mechanism and JavaScript support mentioned previously. That sounds like something that
any modern browser has, so what's the problem? Well, the problem is that many mobile browsers have
support for neither. With many of Ajax solutions, you have limited or no downlevel support, so if you
must support a mobile system, you may be limited to writing multiple versions of your application
because Ajax may not be the right technology to include.
