rich web experience nfjs - ajax vs dhtml

Ok, now I have a yelling obscenities post...... since when did DHTML get re branded as AJAX? I have heard several people talking about simply changing the DOM and that is AJAX? Where is the async part? Where is the xml? Oh well, maybe I am a bit anal. It is really a bit of a semantic thing, but it seems to rub me the wrong way.

rich web experience nfjs

My first session was a success. I went to the Killer Javascript Framework session by David Geary. It was a good high level over view of prototype, script.aculo.us, and rico. I had not heard of Rico before and am excited to use some of its features.

Well, more later. Eating lunch now.

The rich web experience nfjs

Well, nothing really makes me yell obscentities here. Really it is a great conference and we are having a lot of fun. Google, Yahoo, Redhat, Sun, Adobe and a dude from Microsoft (silverlight). A pretty cool group of guys and some great free stuff. I will blog more through out the week.
