Ajax hype
-
Looks like Ajax hype is surpassing any other hype of recent time. I have heard about people developing AjaxOS:wtf:, Ajax3D and AjaxMobile. Has there been a bigger hype in the recent years? If I was Jesse James Garret, I will really feel very proud of inventing(discovering) such a term. Are developers having too much free time these days? For example, look at some of the showcases in the Ajaxian[^] web site, some of them are extremely cool and at the same time extremely useless. What we need is something that can kill this hype? The real question: What will be the next major hype? WPF?

XML? GMail?

There is some meat to the ajax hype though. Granted it is getting a little overblown right now, but in the long run it has the chance to significantly change web based apps. The tools really haven't been there for AJAX in the mainstream. Hopefully as the tools improve we will see more sites using it and slowly web apps might start to approximate win 32 or win form apps in terms of usability while still maintaining the deployability of web apps. To me this is the main benefit of ajax and it's significant...

I'm more into the WPF hype personally! ;P

That's true, but I think some websites over-do it. For example, the new Yahoo Mail beta is so Ajax-heavy that Firefox freezes up completely whilst loading it; videos playing in one window completely freeze up, the whole UI is not repainted...really nasty. GMail does this as well, but on a much lighter level, only causing a brief, split-second freeze up on my beefy machine (3GHZ, 2GB RAM).

Microsoft single-handedly succeeded in making custom desktop development terribly complex, and giving it a muddy future. Who really wants to adjust his apps to a new visual style each 3..5 years? Who wants to be forced to separate code from visualization? Who really wants to hack XML? (except Marc) Desktop UI technology is getting more complex, Desktop installation technology is getting more complex, Desktop user settings management is getting mroe complex, Desktop "why does it do what it does" analysis has a high learning curve. So people turn to the seemingly simple technology. Suddenly, they can achieve something in a given time again, fulfill the desire of putting a mechanism together that does as they imagined. WPF will not be a hype, it will be an awakening with a hangover. It's a good direction to go, but far from ready. -- modified at 2:47 Tuesday 8th August, 2006: i!=

I was using Ajax in 97 before it had a name. Granted I unly used it as a new way to do a login/validation and nothing else but its hardly a new concept.
