February 23, 2007

Over the past few months I keep hearing more and more about AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript) and I must admit after looking at the various frameworks that are coming out these days it is becoming an interesting language of choice to study and learn more about. I am going to focus on one of these libraries today better known as Script.aculo.us.

Script.aculo.us is an AJAX framework that was developed a client-side language to make it easier for websites to process data so that when a function is performed you don’t have to reload the entire webpage to complete processing for the function.
