Comments on: The Ajax SpoofJust A Thought...on Ajax, usability, software development and anything else that catches my fancy.By: Nate- December 21, 2005 Well, I don't think people should feel too bad about being caught up in the spoof - it really was spot on and made some excellent points. I do think Ajax is pretty great (hey, I did write a book about it!) but it isn't the right solution for everything. Undoubtedly, we will see some really poor uses but that is natural with any new technologytechnique. Heck, we've been writing web apps for nearly 10 years, thick apps for over 30, mainframe apps forever...and we still find ways to screw those.http://ntschutta.com/jat/2005/12/07/the-ajax-spoof/#comment-72 By: Jonex- December 13, 2005 Even if it's a spoof, it's valid. Ajax share a lot of he disadvantages with frames. That's why you always should consider alternative before using Ajax. But for sites like gmail it works quite fine, I never send a link to a recieved mail, I'll send the mail itself if I want to. But te no-ajax version still is important since that enables me to check my mail even when using Safari. +3 Insightful, +1 Spoof.http://ntschutta.com/jat/2005/12/07/the-ajax-spoof/#comment-67 By: Ajax sucks spoof - If..Else Log- December 12, 2005 ...

But if it had not been published on Slashdot, I would never have come accross it. Nice spoof anyway :D I commented it in my blog, over here.http://ntschutta.com/jat/2005/12/07/the-ajax-spoof/#comment-65 By: Daniel Puzey- December 9, 2005 I notice it made Slashdot despite the spoof though... some people will never read to the end...http://ntschutta.com/jat/2005/12/07/the-ajax-spoof/#comment-64 By: Nate- December 9, 2005 Thanks Chris - I really enjoyed the spoof! Thanks for putting it out there, you've started a very useful conversation. I hope this gets people thinking about Ajax from the proper perspective: how does it help our users Thanks for the comment!http://ntschutta.com/jat/2005/12/07/the-ajax-spoof/#comment-62 By: Chris McEvoy- December 8, 2005 Thanks for the thoughful post. You are spot on in your observations and I never intended for it to be taken this seriously.
