As an Ajax developer of several years experience, I can tell you that it won't improve server side by anything much at all.

So they finally bought the auto tape changer then?

Yep. General Kala dispatched the war rocket Ajax to retrieve Flash Gordon’s body, thinking that Flash had died in the rocket attack. But Flash survived, giving us the immortal line ‘Gordon’s alive’.

Then Gordon saved the world.

BigYinYang,

well .net said it would and the customer wants it

so that's good enough for us :-)

the big sell is that it will improve client side performance, what about that ?

Ajax? Wasn't that what Colin Grigson thought Alan Metcalfe's Bad News alter-ego was and not Vim (Fuego)?

Milan, if you want a sensible answer from people who know what they are talking about technically, rather than a bunch of chancers who are only in it for the money, try a professional technical forum.

If you want to know about Global Warming, immigrants, tax rises and the life of sock puppets, you are in the right place.

HTH

Well, presumably the Ajax calls to the server will just return a bit of JSON for the client JavaScript to deal with, thus avoiding all that .NET mumbo-jumbo completely - which has to be an improvement straight away.

Although they do say that a lot of people have JavaScript switched off, or use browsers that barely support it, especially AJAX. Something like 2 in 10 users I heard the other day, which seems absurdly high, but that's what they said. If you include mobile browsers, games console and TV based browsers and old browsers which people keep for years and years without updating.
