By Coach Wei; Rob Gonda On April 30, 1993, CERN announced that the World Wide Web would be free for anyone to use and the Web took off, jumping from 130 Web sites in 1993, to over 100,000 in 1996, to 11.5 billion sites in 2005. The main protocol used on the Web is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It's ... May. 19, 2008 01:00 PM Reads: 24,315 | By Rob Gonda  It's become very popular lately, even though it's not exactly new. It's been possible to use the concept behind AJAX since browsers introduced the XMLHttpRequest function in 1999. Enjoy Rob Gonda's highly popular ColdFusion Developer's Journal article on AJAX, the hottest software deve...

May. 31, 2007 03:15 PM Reads: 16,545 Replies: 3 | By Rob Gonda The AJAX News and Feed reader is an application written in ColdFusion using ajaxCFC, a free open source ColdFusion/AJAX framework, and a Model-View-Controller design pattern. It contains the basic functionality of taking an unlimited number of RSS 2.0 feeds as input, parsing the XML da... May. 19, 2007 03:00 PM Reads: 6,942 | By Rob Gonda JSEclipse is a new plugin for the Eclipse environment that helps developers code JavaScript faster and with no errors. With JSEclipse, you can complete a variety of tasks, from editing small sections of code to working with the next big AJAX library or developing plug-ins for a product... Mar. 7, 2007 11:00 AM Reads: 12,278 Replies: 1 | By Coach Wei; Rob Gonda Ever since the term AJAX was coined, the concept has spread like wildfire in developer communities. Lots of applications have been developed using AJAX. In fact, a lot of applications were developed using AJAX long before AJAX came into existence. In this section, we will go over some ... Feb. 20, 2007 10:00 AM Reads: 16,969 | By Coach Wei; Rob Gonda AJAX is a viable way to develop richer, more interactive Web applications. These kinds of applications are typically referred to as 'Rich Internet Applications' (RIAs). RIA is a term that describes the next-generation Web applications that combine the performance and functionality of d... Feb. 18, 2007 10:00 AM Reads: 18,047 | By Coach Wei; Rob Gonda Given the challenges associated with AJAX, it is particularly important to architect an AJAX application properly. Otherwise the result can be either lackluster performance or a code maintenance nightmare, or both. Feb. 17, 2007 10:00 AM Reads: 15,008 | By Coach Wei; Rob Gonda AJAX has raised the awareness of the potential of Web applications. It has also deepened and broadened the use of JavaScript and DHTML in application development. There are significant benefits to AJAX, but there are also significant challenges. Feb. 16, 2007 10:00 AM Reads: 13,704 | By Coach Wei; Rob Gonda AJAX changes the role of Web pages from being merely HTML documents into 'applications' that contain both HTML markup and code. And it changes the role of the 'server' from merely serving HTML pages to serving data too. In classic Web applications, Web servers serve HTML Web pages. Som... Feb. 15, 2007 10:00 AM Reads: 13,946 | By Coach Wei; Rob Gonda 'Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does n... Feb. 13, 2007 03:00 PM Reads: 13,583 | By Rob Gonda I finished today the implementation of AjaxCFC for jQuery. It's the same Ajax <-> CF integration you already know, but using the jQuery Ajax engine. It supports full JSON and WDDX serialization, has improved error handling, improved log4javascript integration, still supports named and ... Dec. 27, 2006 03:00 PM Reads: 10,238 Replies: 1 | By Rob Gonda Check out my 2h 17mins AJAX presentation recording. I presented AJAX in various flavors to the Scottish CFUG last week and I promised to post the slides and files. You may check out the Adobe Connect Presentation, download the slides, and download the source code. Code includes example... Dec. 14, 2006 11:15 AM Reads: 12,188 | By Rob Gonda To encourage people to promote the jQuery project and get as many people involved in the community as possible, jQuery is holding a contest to build a 'Powered by jQuery' button. Oct. 29, 2006 11:00 AM Reads: 582 Replies: 1 | By Rob Gonda There is quite a debate when using Ajax/DHTML on whether to use DOM nodes or innerHTML. I've been a follower of innerHTML, not only because it's easier, not only because you reuse the same view layer, but now also because it's indisputably faster. Oct. 23, 2006 03:30 PM Reads: 9,028 Replies: 1 | By Rob Gonda It is not possible. Lol, well, ok.... the XMLHttpRequest cannot send multipart/form-data, therefore, cannot upload files. There are two ways around this. Sep. 21, 2006 07:45 PM Reads: 15,074 Replies: 7 | By Rob Gonda This session, aimed at enterprise developers, will discuss how best to enrich your users' experience by the use of AJAX. Jun. 6, 2006 09:00 AM Reads: 9,253 | By Rob Gonda  AJAX can make the HTML user experience almost as pleasant as Flash. The main advantage of Flash, in spite of its vector animations, is that you never reload the page. Flash Remoting allows you to interface with the server in the background and AJAX does exactly the same for HTML pages. Apr. 11, 2006 10:15 AM Reads: 79,018 Replies: 17 | By Rob Gonda There is not better or worse when comparing these two techniques, but they are certainly different. While both of them allow you to communicate with the server in the background, you should choose the appropriate for your situation. Feb. 27, 2006 09:00 PM Reads: 32,448 Replies: 3 | By Rob Gonda  It's been one year since Jesse James Garret wrote the first article on Ajax, which gave a name to the existing technology and helped it to boom and reach magnitudes and a buzz never imagined by anyone before. It's still taking off, with new magazines, seminars, and articles everywhere. Feb. 19, 2006 05:30 PM Reads: 9,958 Replies: 3 | By Rob Gonda Will web applications ever replace regular desktop applications? Will desktop applications adopt web paradigms? Are web applications 'Web 2.0'? Jan. 26, 2006 09:45 AM Reads: 20,492 | By Rob Gonda Enough said, since I include the file, I guess I need to support the built-in functionality, but the addRows out-of-the-box was accepting arrays and objects. I serialize the ColdFusion queries into a more complex object which was not recognized by the addRows function, so I modified it... Jan. 19, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 22,421 Replies: 1 | By Rob Gonda The latest fad in the Model-Glue list has been AJAX. How to incorporate Ajax requests to the Model-Glue framework. Is it pointing directly to the model? To the controller? or going thru the full cycle by pointing to index, then controller, model, back to the controller, and passing arg... Jan. 16, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 15,188 Replies: 1 | By Rob Gonda I just got hit with an email informing me that ajaxCFC will break when application.cfc adds code onRequest(start|end). I modified the framework to reset the content before the JavaScript response, and abort it at the end of the asynchronous call. I am not quite happy with the abort tho... Jan. 16, 2006 12:00 PM Reads: 20,645 Replies: 1 | By Rob Gonda The buzzwords du jour are AJAX, RIA, Web 2.0... Both Adobe and Microsoft are involved and trying their best to get market share. Abode has Flash and Flex; and AJAX is compatible with every programming language and plays really well with CF (through ajaxCFC). Microsoft has been working ... Jan. 12, 2006 04:30 PM Reads: 18,037 Replies: 1 | By Rob Gonda ajaxCFC now supports built-in improved security, enforcing get or posts verbs, and also optionally checks for the http-referer to match your site. These two checks will prevent a third party from monitoring HTTP packets and trying to call them manually by pasting the full AJAX request ... Dec. 20, 2005 09:45 AM Reads: 13,031 | By Rob Gonda It's become very popular lately, even though it's not exactly new. It's been possible to use the concept behind AJAX since browsers introduced the XMLHttpRequest function in 1999. AJAX isn't a technology, or a language, and there's no recipe to implement it; it's just a combination of ... Nov. 14, 2005 11:00 AM Reads: 29,071 |

Jun. 23, 2008 12:00 PM | By SOA World Magazine News Desk  Dramatic industry changes - including vendor consolidation, outsourcing and the growth of open source - highlight the need for a better way.
