Comments on: Ajax and Server Load http://ntschutta.com/jat/2006/04/20/ajax-and-server-load/ Just A Thought...on Ajax, usability, software development and anything else that catches my fancy. Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:50:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Nate http://ntschutta.com/jat/2006/04/20/ajax-and-server-load/#comment-705 Nate Wed, 26 Apr 2006 02:23:53 +0000 http://ntschutta.com/jat/2006/04/20/ajax-and-server-load/#comment-705 Dietrich, I agree that expectations are certainly rising and Ajax lets us move a lot closer to the thick client server apps that preceded the web explosion. Still, I can't help but think the next step is closer to a XUL like approach. Anyway, I'm just glad to see a resurgence in the web client space. Thanks for the comment! Dietrich,

Face it, people are <a href="http://blogs.pathf.com/agileajax/2006/04/again_on_scalab.html" rel="nofollow">not going to be content</a> writing slightly better versions of the same old CRUD apps. Maybe it's time to relearn the lessons of client/server.
