AJAX & Javascript Galleries, Slideshows and Effects Redux
I was looking through some of my older posts tonight and realized my last post about AJAX galleries, slideshows and effects was from March 2006. Tonight I did a quick search through some of my sources to see what was new and exciting in the world of AJAX and Javascript image display and manipulation. Once again, below you'll find a categorized list of all of the AJAX image solutions I've been able to find that were of some use.

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.

Data Visualization Software, Resources, Tutorials and Source Code
As an interaction designer I'm always wondering what's next. Over the last few years we've become familiar with web application design, new constructs like recency and popularity, however, in the back-channel of web design there has been an increasing movement towards data visualizations, both large and small. You can currently see this in everything from blog design to large-scale data visualizations like We Feel Fine and digg labs. Designers and programers are coming together in new ways, which in the end result are producing some of the most functional, and creative web interfaces I've ever seen.

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.
