Sam Stephenson, creator of the Prototype library, sat down and recorded himself remotely as we talked about what excited him about new Prototype versions, browsers, and the state of Ajax in general.
I just noticed a nice addition to the product page that lets you interact nicely with the products, all with pure Ajax. Zoom in, move around, see all of the detail. They also appear to be using the Coherent library that just came out.
I use Aptana Jaxer, the Ajax Server, as a proxy for Twitter. This shows how you can write an application in pure JavaScript using 3rd party libraries such as Prototype on the server side.
Jeremiah Grossman and Lex Arquette have developed Roxer as a part time project on the side. It is a new tool that allows you to do rich on the fly WYSIWYG editing. There are more and more of these coming about, and 2008 should solve the problem :)
Andre Lewis has a new site that merges Rails with his love of Geo. He has some really nice subtle Map features that sit on top of the Google Maps API.
XSTM is the renamed JSTM project, and they have released a demo showing how you data replicates in the browser.
A simple tool that I created on my flight home from Europe. It uses Ext 2 to give you a simple way to generate Google Chart API graphs and charts.
We had the chance to sit down with Ken Russell, Sun Staff Engineer, to talk about the work he has been doing bring Applets out of the ashes. He was very frank and told us abou the underpinnings and what we are going to see.
I sat down with Zach Coelius, CEO of Triggit, who just released, in beta form, their WYSIWYG content insertion platform. It is good for your mum as she can add content without touching HTML. If is good for developers if we can plugin our own modules and use their platform.
