Go Forth and Ajax

Ajax can't make a bad application good, but it can make a good application better. When used as a means to progressively enhance a site, it adds additional functionality without sacrificing the original accessibility and usability.

Some of the edgier Ajax effects should give us some pause, but as the number of Ajax developers and interest in Ajax development grows, I expect to see more widespread usage of functionality such as in-place editing, flash notification, some of the space usage techniques, and live updates.

Best of all, working with Ajax doesn't require an initial investment in anything other than our time, nor does it require large frameworks. It doesn't require that we work in only one language or on one type of machine. All we need is a text editor and a browser and a place to put the page, and we're in action.
