AJAX Your Blog - Plugins, Source Code, and Tutorials
I started this blog around the same time AJAX was introduced by
Adaptive Path's Jesse James Garrett. At the time there were no out of the box add-on's for blogs. Fortunately, now there are a plethora of plugins, source code, and tutorials designed for specific blog software. The following is a list of AJAX components you can add to Wordpress, Expression Engine, and Moveable Type.

AJAX’d Wordpress
AJAX'd Wordpress (AWP), formerly know as INAP, is an extremely powerful plugin that harnesses the power of AJAX and Wordpress to improve the user experience, the administration capabilities and the design potential of any Wordpress based blog. AWP's basic features include inline paginated posts, inline comments, threaded comments, the ability to submit comments with AJAX, pagination of your homepage, live comment preview and much more, but it does not, however, force you to use any feature, and it also allows all aspects of the plugin to be easily customized through a single Administration panel. AWP is built to integrate with other plugins and features an advanced module system--based off of WordPress' plugin system--that allows it to be modified with the addition of third-party extensions. It also has special features that will ensure compatibility with many other plugins.

What better way to show reader appreciation than letting the readers edit their own typos?

Beneath the peppy front ends of many of todays Rich Internet Applications lies a dark flaw that if left unchecked can bring a site down to it's knees.

Maybe your using one of the popular libraries such as, Prototype and Script.aculo.us, or Dojo and think You're safe. Think again.

How To Minimize Your Javascript and CSS Files for Faster Page Loads
Over the last 11 years I've spent a great deal of time trying to improve client websites with an eye for minimalist interface design and code. While the minimalist design esthetic is not the choice for every client the notion of less code and faster load times always goes over well. Today, many of web applications I design and code for have a plethora of Javascript and CSS files. Fortunately, there are many options to solve this rather simple problem. Compression, obfuscation and bundling are all great options.

Accelerated DOM Scripting with Ajax, APIs and Libraries
JavaScript libraries have been around in one form or another for almost as long as JavaScript itself. As you go from project to project, it’s inevitable that you’ll find yourself reusing various functions. They become part of your core that you end up copying each time you start up something new. With any good library, code reuse leads to reliability; using the same code on multiple projects means that the code has been exposed to more and more people, enabling bugs or cross-browser issues to be resolved.

QuTags - AJAX for PHP
Very nice AJAX framework for PHP. As the develper stated, "maximize PHP application performance and minimize development time with one framework. QuTags takes the burden of JavaScript away, by not only creating all the client side code, but actually propagating the returned results to the elements you specify using a really easy and extremely fast technique. Code as if you were using AJAX for PHP without JAX. You don't even have to know what AJAX or JavaScript is about. Using this library of functions requires only a very small amount of knowledge about PHP. If you can pass arguments to a function you can utilize QuTags. This framework requires absolutely no knowledge of JavaScript or XML."

Learning AJAX & Javascript by Example - Tutorials, Source-Code and Documentation
I learn the best by example, so I read about, and try, as many AJAX and Javascript examples as I can find. Below you'll find a short list of the AJAX tutorials and examples that I've seen recently. They have all been organized by category with the exception of the "General" category which includes some example that didn't lend themselves to a vertical. Please let me know through email or a comment if you know of any other great AJAX tutorials, and I'll be glad to post them. Also special thanks to all of the folks who produced all of these great free learning experiences.

During cross site Ajax requests the standard XmlHttpRequest approach breaks down. The problem is that XmlHttpRequest is bounded by the same site policy. Fortunately the script tag has the freedom to do as it pleases.

Record Mouse Movement Using Javascript and AJAX
Most of us who blog have statistical analysis programs to show us our website traffic. Many of the current programs let you see session data on each visitor that visits your website which includes, the pages they visited, and in some cases how long they spent on each page. The next step would be to see their mouse movements, keystrokes and the links that they click on. MoveLogger does exactly that.

20 Trusted AJAX, DHTML and JavaScript Tool Sites
I started posting about AJAX shortly after the term was coined by AdaptivePath's Jesse James Garrett in 2005, and in the beginning most of the examples, tutorials and references were produced by programers interested in the subject. Today many of the so-called AJAX, DHTML and Javascript sites are splogs, or other types of traffic generating ad platforms. My question is always who can I trust for tested quality scripts and tools? While there are probubly hundreds of trustworthy sites out there these are the ones I go to when I'm looking for ideas and inspiration. This is not the definitive list of trusted sites so if you have a site you trust for AJAX, DHTML and Javascript tool please let myself and the community know of them through the comments section of this post. Thanks to all of the individuals who spent their free time to put up these wonderful resources.

Unfortunately, these features come at a price: you must often rely on heavy Javascript libraries that can add dozens or even hundreds of kilobytes to your page. Users hate waiting, so here are a few techniques you can use to trim down your sites.

Source Code Released for aPop and footoo AJAX Photo Galleries
First, I'd like to say thanks for the overwhelming support and requests for the aPop and footoo photo galleries source code. Next, I'd like to apologize for not getting back to the wonderful developers who emailed me for the code. I just found out this weekend that due to an error, my server was treating all of these emails as spam, and they have been sitting in a log file for the past year. I'm very sorry about this. So, tonight I'm releasing the source code and am hoping I can reach out to everyone who was kind enough to want to push the development forward on these two unfinished projects.

AjaxWp - An AJAX enchancement for WordPress blogs
AjaxWp is a lightweight JavaScript enhancement that adds AJAX functionality to WordPress blogs speeding up load times, increasing the responsiveness of the user interface and giving the blog an overall cooler look. Out of the box AjaxWp requires minimal configuration and no additional markup, other than the script inclusions in the header file and a support PHP file. This allows AjaxWp to degrade gracefully and leave the blog fully functional even for users with JavaScript disabled.

AJAX is a great tool for creating rich internet applications, however, when improperly implemented it can cause huge accessibility issues.
