Who Is Using AJAX?

Lets see what Mr. Pravin has to share today.

AJAX is already widely used in web development. One of the most important players on the AJAX scene is Google. With Gmail, Google Groups, Google Suggest or Google Maps, AJAX is being put to good use by millions of visitors every day. The user interfaces respond quickly and are pretty intuitive, leaving no time for users to admire a blank screen.

AJAX is used in Meebo to allow users to connect to multiple instant messaging networks from a web-based application, and in Flickr, to allow photo sharing and tagging.
KTML is an online visual HTML editor that emulates the familiar Microsoft Word. You can use it for web content authoring just as you would use any other desktop-based text editor.
MX Query Builder is a visual tool for creating and managing SQL queries. It runs in a browser window, but can be launched from Macromedia Dreamweaver. Its many panels allow asynchronous interaction with your database. When you're done, you can save your query and use it in Dreamweaver as a regular record set.

These projects demonstrate that Ajax is not only technically sound, but also practical for real-world applications. This isn’t another technology that only works in a laboratory. In addition, Ajax applications can be any size, from the very simple, single-function Google Suggest to the very complex and sophisticated Google Maps.
