Conclusion
Well, we've finally come to the end of the book, and the beginning of the world of Unobtrusive Ajax development. There will always be challenges for every web developer to maintain the principals of unobtrusive development, but remember that there is always a solution available, and often easier than it seems.
Armed with the techniques in this book, start programming unobtrusively as often as you can. Your bosses and clients probably won't even notice the difference (unless they have JavaScript disabled), but a lot of other people will.
Ajax interfaces will become more common in the future, and it will be harder to argue against making JavaScript a requirement for every web site and application. It will also be more important for web developers to take a stand and ensure that the Web remains a place that everyone can use, no matter what technical or physical limitations they face.
I'd like to thank you very much for reading along. Just showing an interest in Unobtrusive Ajax is really the biggest step towards making the Web a better place for everyone. Nobody's perfect, so just try your best, and more importantly, have fun!
