Ajax for the Masses

摘要

Ajax development is difficult even under the best of conditions: Browsers implement the DOM (Document Object Model) in different ways. XML is an open-ended construct that can be hard to manipulate. No browser renders Cascading Style Sheets in perfect W3C compliance. JavaScript still has flaws. All this can make Ajax development—especially without the benefit of frameworks or toolkits—the sole domain of the IT guru. But with its release of Flex 2.0, Adobe simplifies matters and allows for the rapid design, creation and deployment of rich Internet apps.
