This is a good summary for those that have not heard the term yet:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX

maps.google.com is a great example of an AJAX
app; not that I will be doing this kind of development anytime soon ever,
but it is useful to know of new trends. Personally I would choose SmartClient
for internal apps and some kind of Flash based solution for complex public apps…
there are some interesting happenings in the .Net + Flash space. Again not my
cup of tea, but worth being aware of.

Thanks to Michael E for this.

Over the weekend, avec new
laptop I started the switch-over to less DIY on the house and more tech (this
is all planned, and it is time to catch up with and Keith and Michael again).
Not that a day wrestling with a core aerator and hundreds of pounds of sand on a hot
Atlanta had anything to do with this starting on Friday

Michael’s post stimulated me to wade through the unread Sc0ble posts in my aggregator
(all were unread). Yes I was subscribed but never rarely read them assuming anything
good would be mentioned elsewhere anyway. Well three hours later my knowledge of Indigo,
Goolge maps, Xaml, and a whole bunch of other areas was vastly improved.
This post is to let everyone know there is great value in the hours Scoble spends
sifting through blog noise to find the most useful articles. If you are
not reading Sc0ble I recommend starting now. Please Google for
his personal blog + his link blog because there is no link from this post. For
those that never have heard of Robert Sc0ble, he is the bloggers’ blogger and now
works for Microsoft over at Channel 9.
