There are a fair amount of things I’ve seen happen this week that I thought I should post about, but don’t really have much to add above what I’ve read elsewhere.
First we have the rise of Ajax – no, not the cleaning product – the clever new name for a clever old technology. Jesse James Garret explains more about the combination of Asyncronous JavaScript and XML. SvN adds a little caution on the discussion, and just to round out the links to the old guard here’s what Jeff Veen has to say on Ajax
But wait, there more links to old familiar names. Jason Kottke, who I think I mentioned for being under the gun for posting info on leaked Jeopardy winners info has recently announced he quit his job and will be living off his blog for the next year. The twist – he’s gone “listener” supported instead of the blogad route. For the next few weeks he’s soliciting micropatrons as he’s calling them to donate to the fund to keep him going. Coverage from Wired, & the Village Voice. Best of luck man…
And one last tidbit for today, a new book by WaSP members David Shea and Molly E. Holzschlag The Zen of CSS Design is soon to be released and the digital press tours and reviews have started. Digital-Web has a review as well as interviews with both authors. Much more from David here.
