If anything about current interaction design can be called "glamorous", it’s creating Web applications. After all, when was the last time you heard someone rave about the interaction design of a product that wasn’t on the Web? (Okay, besides the iPod.) All the cool, innovative new projects are online.
Despite this, desktop applications have a richness and responsiveness that has seemed out of reach on the Web. The same simplicity that enabled the Web’s rapid proliferation also creates a gap between the experiences web application can provide and the experiences users can get from a desktop application.
That gap between the web application and the desktop application is closing. Take a look at Google Suggest. Watch the way the suggested terms update as you type, almost instantly. Now look at Google Maps zoom in. Use your cursor to grab the map and scroll around a bit. Again, everything happens almost instantly, with no waiting for pages to reload.
Google Suggest and Google Maps are two examples of a new approach to web applications that the people at Adaptive Path have been calling AJAX. The name is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, and it represents a fundamental shift in what’s possible on the Web.
