AJAX Finally!
Its been on my to-do list for a while to give AJAX a shot. Finally got some time over last couple of weekends to come up with this feed reader as a learning project:
Most AJAX tutorials I read on the web were helpful only if one is planning to write a monolithic JavaScript – as against object oriented, reusable code. Most JavaScript tutorials were also pretty superficial when it came to OOP. I found this one by Mike Chambers most useful. May be because his example does almost exactly what I was planning. Thanks Mike!
All in all, AJAX seems to be a cool and easy new technology to implement interactive content on a website. I am sure things get more and more difficult as you start implementing richer feature set. May be I’ll find out if I add features to the news reader.
I haven’t tested it a whole lot on IE, I don’t use it much anyway. But it works OK on almost all other browsers I use – Firefox, Camino, Safari – to name a few!
