AJAX is a rich client-side technology that makes the web pages more
interactive. In practice, the same AJAX client-side code should be
unchanged, regardless of what server-side web technologies we use. I
guess this is same concept as traditional front-end plain html code
that can work with different server-side web technologies for back-end
processing. Similarly, AJAX should be server-side independent concept,
is that correct? But if this is the case, why there are different AJAX
frameworks available for different server-side web technologies such as
Java, PHP? We should simply just use generic AJAX server-side
independent framework for our AJAX-enabled web applications.
I wonder what server-side technologies that google maps/gmail use for
their AJAX front-end?? I guess google maps/gmail can be good AJAX
models to follow?? What do you think?
please advice & discuss.
