50 AJAX Reference Websites From Around the World
SubscribeSaturday, June 10, 2006
As a consistent devotee of the AJAX scene over the past year or so I have hundreds of feeds in my reader. Recently, I've had several email requests from readers requesting to know what AJAX websites I visit daily. While I visit any title that interest me, these are the sites I go to consistently.
Since the coining of the the term AJAX over a year ago hundreds if not thousands of websites, blogs and forums have been buzzing with posts on the subject. As I've found this can sometimes leave search engines bewildered as to where the current and relevant information really exists. So I thought I would put together this list of what I think are some of the most relevant AJAX sites are worldwide.
Please consider this list of AJAX reference sites to be in its infancy. I don't read as many languages as I'd like to so the current list is rather limited by language. Please feel free to add to this list by adding a comment to this post with other useful AJAX resource sites. If you think the idea of a moderated AJAX website resource list is a good idea let me know and I'll set up a wiki.
Special thanks to all of the hard working developers who are spending their free time share their knowledge with all of us!

Please also checkout a website, if you need to build a reusable Ajax GUI Widget for DHTML browser:
http://www.cbsdf.com/technologies/DHTML-Widgets/Widget-samples.htm
According to Mark Andreessen There are no signeficant inventions in the Browser over 10 years.
Many people are asking: Why do we keep working around browser limitations to build “Rich Internet Applications” when someone could be making the browser a better application container?
This problem will be fixed this year, when both Microsoft (e.g. WPF/E) and Adobe (MXML/Flash) releases their “rich application containers”.
The platforms only offers half solution. How can developers build, if they have just a platform? For example, how one builds GUI applications for JVM (Java vertual Mechine), if he has no reusable GUI-API such as Swing classes?
Pioneer-soft invented the other half of the solution for building RIA:
http://www.cbsdf.com/technologies/DHTML-Widgets/TECH-Summary.htm
Pioneer-soft will build complete set of powerful, reusable GUI Classes for generating data-driven Ajax GUI Components that communicate asynchronously with a server. This website has few innovative technologies for thouse wish to explore future possibilities.
