Can Ajax help my business?
Hi all,
Well first we need to describe what is Ajax and yes, it is the famous football club from Amsterdam, and yes also the cleaning product, but also something else…
Ajax is shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, and it is just a new way do develop applications for the web. So what it gives you?
Without going into much technical details, it lets the server stream information to the webpage without refresh the page or call to another page.
And how it can help your business?
Well traditional web applications suffer from clumsy user interface which gives the user an awkward feeling.
The new technology creates smooth interface which gives the users an impression of real software. Have you tried to use Google mail account? This project is a good example of what Ajax can do to the usability experience.
So your employees will love to use these applications because they are cool / fast and yes, sexy! so if they are happy, you are happy.
