First day of JOSUG

Today's JOSUG meeting has just started, Im sitting in this class as I typed this very blog entry. I'm disappointed that I'll need to leave by 10:30am for my 11am class; today we're covering AJAX technology which really gets my attention.

We'll see where this goes =)

Shorthand Steps:

• create an XMLHttpRequest
• worry about browser creation
• open() to inititialze connection
• requester.open("POST" , "/actionPage");
  
• send() to send actual data
• Event listener determines when the object has finished processing
• Set up a function to handle when readyState is changed to 4

Possible AJAX frameworks:

• Backbase
• works independent to whatever server side technology you use
• has a JSF implementation as well for JSF developers
• Dojo
• Rico
