AJAX Goes Wild

 
Sep 22, 2005

Dan Grossman of aventureforth.com has two excellent blog entries with a list of exceptional applications that use AJAX. His criteria for the list were applications that were:
  • an appropriate combination of simplicity and rich functionality,
  • somehow compelling,
  • the more interactive, the better,
  • and free.

I highly recommend at least viewing some of these links, and even trying out the applications. (Remember, they're all free!) I found the online calendar at Kiko.com helpful, but my favorite was the Objectograph dictionary (http://www.objectgraph.com/dictionary/), which prefills the screen with the proper page as you type in the word you're looking up. It comes with a thesaurus as well! What a great resource for a writer.

In the second blog post, Dan included some Flash sites as well ( Midnight Coders and Goowy) because he really liked them. Midnight Coders showcases a series of example apps written in both Flash and AJAX. Goowy is a Rich Internet Application site that provides different free online applications built in Flash. The site itself is quite an experience; the use of Flash gives it a very smooth look-and-feel.
