I’ve been tracking this for a while now, but I am becoming more and more interested in this AJAX stuff, AKA Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. I am really seeing it as a major piece to the web 2.0 puzzle — I know, duh. If you couple that with the whole Ruby on Rails stuff that is going on, you have the building blocks of the new read/write web interfaces. Just thought I’d write that down … sorry if its old news. I can see how we can use this to change quite a bit in education.
Of course, AJAX is the furture! RoR is a joyous developer language as well. My clients are constantly requesting those two pieces of technology. By the way, give me feedback on my blog tool though.
