The developers who put a lot of effort into optimizing things and making them tight and fast will wake up to discover that effort was, more or less, wasted, or, at the very least, you could say that it “conferred no long term competitive advantage,” if you’re the kind of person who talks like an economist.
Yowl provides a set of Ajax interfaces that web applications can call to display notifications to the user. The advantage of calling to Yowl rather than managing the notifications directly is that Yowl allows the user to control the style of the messages, or even whether the messages should appear at all. Yowl is inspired by the Growl system for Mac OS and will integrate with it.
With the ever increasing use of alternate media types I feel there is a need to deliver JavaScript targeted to these types of devices. This would allow alternate and modified content, as well as a customized user experience through the use of modern AJAX techniques.

Reality is never as good as it seems, though, as I have some issues with both the alliance and the OpenAjax Hub implementation
The YUI Browser History Manager is an experimental component designed to facilitate the creation of web applications in which the navigation buttons are fully functional and in which broad aspects of an application's state — what panels are open, what tabs are active, etc. — can be bookmarked.
This snippet explains how you can track and recreate the current view even when using ajax to update your page. Now if users reload the page or send this link to a friend, the current state will remain intact.

While working on optimizing page load times for a high-profile AJAX application, I had a chance to investigate how much I could reduce latency due to external objects. Specifically, I looked into how the HTTP client implementation in common browsers and characteristics of common Internet connections affect page load time for pages with many small objects.

Are you fed up with that lame old directory manager your hosting company provided you with for you website or blog? If you are already familiar with windows or mac file browsers, why should you have to change the way you work for the web? Try Relay for a change.

The basic and prebuilt effects in script.aculo.us are nice, but if you really want to build something great why not investigate doing your own, homegrown, do-it-yourself effects. We’re going to show you how to take basic effects and build on them to create your own.

AJAX Toolkit Framework (ATF) provides extensible tools for building IDEs for the many different AJAX (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) run-time environments (such as Dojo, Zimbra, etc.). This technology also contains features for developing, debugging, and testing AJAX applications. The framework provides enhanced JavaScript editing features such as edit-time syntax checking; an embedded Mozilla Web browser; an embedded DOM browser; and an embedded JavaScript debugger.
The slides, in PDF form, start at the beginner level (”what is Ajax?” and “why do we need it?”) , then on to the actual technology behind it all - the “stack”, network latency issues, and methods to help counteract them. He notes some of the limitations that the XMLHttpRequest object has and includes a few other resources, like the “30 Second Ajax Tutorial”.
Wiky is a clientside Wiki markup to HTML converter written in javascript. As it is bidirectional, it can convert Wiki markup to HTML and later convert that generated HTML text back to Wiki markup.
