Thursday May 11, 2006 I sneak around the corner with a blueprint of AJAX
Oooh look what I found, java.sun.com/javascript with lots of new Web-2.0-ish stuff like AJAX and JavaScript. You surely have seen AJAX before, AJAX is this fancy stuff that completes what you type in a webform while you type. Or, what's even more useful, it can do live form validation, too. Like for example, if you access www.google.com with the complete=1 parameter in the URL, you get suggestions, live, while you type. I mean, in case you can't think of anything to search for. ;-)
Curious? If you want to see how AJAX works and what it can do for you, there are some AJAX sample files in the NetBeans IDE's help menu under "Blueprints". Choose AJAX from the popup menu and then you could choose e.g. "Auto-Complete" or "Progressbar" or what sounds interesting to you (I don't know anything about Java Server Faces yet, so I skipped those.) In the solution tab, you'll learn for which kind of problem this method is a good solution. In the Design tab, you get the blueprint (code samples and diagrams) showing how to design the webpage. Go to the Example tab to create a NB project for this example that you can actually run and deploy to see how it works. It's all the rage, check it out. :-)
PS: And look, today there is more: developers.sun.com/ajax and java.sun.com/javaee. Need a tool to go with it? Incidentally, ;-) you can test-run J2EE and UML features with NetBeans IDE 5.5 Beta now.
