Lightweight Ajax with OpenThought

Talk slides

Abstract

Ajax is a technique that enables web developers to create interactive applications by replacing the standard "load a new page on each click" model with the event-driven model of rich-client GUI development. This talk demonstrates this method of development using the OpenThought library, which abstracts the technical details of Ajax into a usable API.
