HowTo add Ajax in-progress indicators
Ok, so my little del.icio.us app (click link to read about how I added Ajax functionality to a simple Rails app) is pretty cool, but it was missing one big thing. When the user clicks the "Get Results" link she has no idea that the page is communicating with the server. While the communication doesn't go on forever, an impatient user might click the link multiple times.

Scriptaculous Cheat Sheet #1
During my talk at Canada on Rails I mentioned that I was working on a Scriptaculous cheat sheet, at the behest of none other than Thomas Fuchs himself. (Actually it was more a teasing-slash-friendly challenge situation than a behest, as such, but I digress.) He hasn't stopped bugging me about it, and so it's actually gotten done.

Howto integrate Google Calendar in your website using AJAX
One of the features I find it interesting in Google calendar is the possibility to create shared calendars, but also the availability of your calendar as XML or ICAL whatever it's a private or public one. As soon as we have XML of our calendar available I was wondering why not integrating Google calendar directly in website. For example a community that use the service to manage their events, or to display your future trips in your blog ?

Scriptaculous Lists with PHP
Scriptaculous is one of many great new JavaScript libraries created to answer the call for well written 'Web 2.0' JavaScript libraries. Written by Thomas Fuchs, scriptaculous has many features that can be used in AJAX-ified applications, drag-and-drop effects, and a whole slew of visual effects. The drag-and-drop effects, most notably the sortables, caught my eye because the look great, they are so easy to implement, and they're just so much nicer than the standard listbox with up/down arrows that we see in most of today's applications and administration tools.

Why let script.aculo.us have all the fun? Start building your own Ajax-driven visual effects today.

AJAX Resources for Beginners
Like many people out there, I'm just getting to know the technologies AJAX's hood. For people who don't know about AJAX, Wikipedia gives good info. Ajax in one line is a technology by which you can send and receive data without the page being reloaded, so it looks more 'dynamic'. I guess this could be the dummy way of explaining it.

Ajax Beginners Tutorial
In this tutorial we'll discuss the basic principles of remote scripting using Ajax, a combination of javascript and XML to allow web pages to be updated with new information from the server, without the user having to wait for a page refresh. Ajax therefore allows us to build web applications with user interfaces rather more like those of desktop applications, providing a better experience for the user. Ajax tools are becoming increasingly popular, and a list of ajax development projects is also given.

Ajax Workshop 2: Building Tabbed Content
This workshop we will be building a tabbed content browser that's Ajax powered. When ever a user clicks a tab the Ajax will communicate with the server and send back the appropriate data for that tab. We will start this workshop off with the XHTML and CSS for the tabbed content browser. We will need 3 main IDs (one for the container, one for the content area and one for the loading status) and 1 class (for the tabs).

Mastering Ajax, Part 2: Make asynchronous requests with JavaScript and Ajax
Most Web applications use a request/response model that gets an entire HTML page from the server. The result is a back-and-forth that usually involves clicking a button, waiting for the server, clicking another button, and then waiting some more. With Ajax and the XMLHttpRequest object, you can use a request/response model that never leaves users waiting for a server to respond. In this article, Brett McLaughlin shows you how to create XMLHttpRequest instances in a cross-browser way, construct and send requests, and respond to the server.

AJAX Tutorial with Prototype
I wanted to give an example of a good use of AJAX, and at the same time keep it simple. So I thought a good example would be to build a zip code verifier. As soon as the person enters the zip code it makes a request to the server to see if the zip code is in the database, and returns the city and state.
