AJAX is the buzzword now ...

AJAX, a new name for old wine -- Asynchronous Javascript + XmlHttpRequest. I really don't think this to be a really new concept!! may we ppl didn't realise earlier that such a thing existed earlier :)

To my knowledge XMLHttpRequest was introduced within IE 5.0 when it was released with NT or Win 2K (now we are talking about IE7 with Windows Vista).

The companies which have released some sort of AJAX framework are:

1. Our big brother "Microsofts" framework for AJAX is called Atlas and you can read about it here.

2. Google's version is called "Google-ajaxslt". One can download their framework here.

3. Check out Project jMaki from SUN.

4. Yahoo's version is "Yahoo! User Interface Library"

All the above mentioned companies where competing directly/indirectly with each other for quite sometime now. But the surprise entry (Atleast for me) is Adobe.

Adobe has released a AJAX framework by name SPRY.

Offlate almost all major technology companies are into AJAX hmmm let the technology WAR on AJAX begin :)

Vadivel,

Got more new info from your blogs

It is really buzzing me, why this AJAX not implemented previously and what makes it as a Hot Cake in the Web factory now
1) it is fact that normal programmers may ignore new concepts unless and until there is no specific requiremet from client
2) But how this Google(google map) ppls are ignored previously ???

Hi Mahesh, thanks for your comment. Btw, though as i have mentioned in my post AJAX was introduced in IE 5.0 by Microsoft. To my knowledge world started noticing the actual power of it once Google came into picture. The search box in google.com page is ajax driven only.

Script table as - ALTER TO is greyed out - SQL SERVER

One of my office colleague recently asked me why we are not able to generate ALTER Table script from SSMS. If we right click on the table and choose "Script Table As" ALTER To option would be disabled or Greyed out. Is it a bug? No it isn't a bug. ALTER To is there to be used for generating modified script of Stored Procedure, Functions, Views, Triggers etc., and NOT for Tables. For generating ALTER Table script there is an work around. Right click on the table, choose "Modify" and enter into the design mode. Make what ever changes you want to make and WITHOUT saving it right click anywhere on the top half of the window (above Column properties) and choose "Generate Change Script". Please be advised that SQL Server would drop actually create a new table with modifications, move the data from the old table into it and then drop the old table. Sounds simple but assume you have a very large table for which you want to do this! Then it woul...

[Non Tech] Want to know the recipe for Omelette :)

Fed up with Bread - Jam and Curd Rice, today i wanted to eat Omelette. Interesting part is I wanted to cook it myself :) So in the first picture you see all the items which are needed for preparing an Omelette. When I had a closer look at the eggs I see that almost all the eggs are broken. But believe me when I bought it couple of days back it was in perfect condition! I was wondering whether the eggs have become rotten or pretty old to consume! I tried taking an egg and break it but couldn't break it at all :) Since I have kept in the freezer all the eggs have frozen and looked like a iron ball :) After trying for few minutes of trying i removed the shell of the egg and then kept that iron ball :) into a bowl and placed it within Oven. I heated it for 1 minute and checked. It melted only to a limit. So i just set it for another 2 minutes and checked it later. It has melted but the part of the egg white has become a Omelette :( I didn't leave it there. I took the bowl out of ...
