[Plex Toolkit](http://www.plextk.org/trac/wiki) An XML+Javascript based toolkit that aims developer to make up very amazing interfaces, creating interface in XML format.

Google Web Toolkit - Build AJAX apps in the Java language Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is a Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don’t speak browser quirks as a second language. Writing dynamic web applications today is a tedious and error-prone process; you spend 90% of your time working around subtle incompatabilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript’s lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. GWT lets you avoid many of these headaches while offering your users the same dynamic, standards-compliant experience. You write your front end in the Java programming language, and the GWT compiler converts your Java classes to browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML. ...

Finally, I had a little amount of time to finish up my new theme. Dheme: only a name for you, right now. But I want to make it downloadable in the future. Actual version is 0.1: under heavy-development. Dheme borns with 3 focuses: eye-candy, usability, richness. Animations of Dheme are builded with the beautiful moo.fx library. Do you like it? ;)

Another AMAZING usage of Ajax by Google: Google Finance. It’s obviously a “beta” and the home page does not seems to be very “ajaxed”… but try to find out a symbol and… be prepared for WOW! 8O

Edit 23 Marzo 2006: Io ho torto e lui ha ragione. Lascio il post per chi volesse ridere della mia gaffe. Sono stato freagato dal fatto che la libreria JS che uso si occupava “di suo” ad ovviare alle limitazioni di security. Su SpaghettiAjax un tizio ha fatto una domanda: … Dunque mi sto documentando da poco su ajax e vorrei farmi un’idea sulla fattibilità di quanto segue: attualmente ho un WebService che espone determinati metodi. Poi ho una web application che sostanzialmente tramite una jsp richiama una servlet. Questa servlet richiede delle info al WS (tramite un metodo esposto) ed una volta ottenute le passa alla jsp che le visualizza. ...

Cos’é un Italiofono? E’ uno che capisce solo l’italiano e, per tanto pertanto (ndDetro - Geppo, stavi come il falco :P ), molto simile ad uno specchio refrattario :D . Ok ok, scherzavo. Ho cmq da segnalare un interessante howto (molto completo) per introdurre ad Ajax tutti quegli sviluppatori italiani che non hanno alcuna voglia di usare Google e leggere qualche howto in inglese: Spaghetti Ajax. A parte il solito trito e ritrito cliché degli “Spaghetti” per indicare l’Italia, mi sembra un’ottima lettura per tutti.

I highlight this howto: Building a PHP5 Form Processor. But the how to also “generate” the form (and the client-side validation code), then the title of this post. On Dev Shed.

Wow: seems to be that every web-developer doesn’t do anything except Ajax! Today, walking trough various blog I had found these interesting thing written in (and for) Ajax: * [<strong>Lightbox JS</strong>](http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/) - a <em>simple</em>, <em>unobtrusive script </em>used to overlay images on the current page. It's a snap to setup and works on<strong><em> all modern browsers</em></strong>. Simple and very Beautiful way to show photos in a web page (it's ideal to be used in a Web-Based-Photo-Gallery). * [<strong>Tooltip.js</strong>](http://tooltip.crtx.org/) - NEXT GENERATION in Tooltips; using the Web 2.0 approach of doing a simple thing, and doing it well. It's based on [script.aculo.us](http://www.detronizator.org/home/index.php?s=script.aculo.us) (and then [prototype.js](http://www.detronizator.org/home/index.php?s=prototype.js)) and... it's a very-cool way to put tooltip into a web page. * [REXV - Regular EXpression eValuator](http://www.rexv.org/) - [Regular Expression](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regexp) evaluator for three different regular expression systems. It's written in Ajax and it's very very usefull for regexp-addicted developer. It understand: <em>PHP PCRE</em>, <em>PHP Posix</em>, <em>Javascript regexp</em>.

meebo is a multi-IM client (in beta version right now) that is Web 2.0 enabled: a really cool use of Ajax! I tried it and seems to be functional and really usable (it’s in beta, don’t forget). Probably a very powerfull alternative for user without a Laptop or a Network-enabled palm. The most interesting features? it use 1024 bit encryption RSA for Ajax communications! Source, Consequentia Mirabilis.

It’s powered with prototype.js and script.aculo.us: nice! If you use the script.aculo.us slider control to capture input values, it’s really just a matter of converting those values into something useful and modifying styles. <script src="http://www.agilepartners.com/scripts/prototype.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript"></script> A simple demo. (a Cut&Paste from the source site ;) ) Created by Agile Partners.com. I suggest to read the howto: it’s simple and clear. And demonstrate the power of script.aculo.us and prototype.js. ...
