Prototype is a javascript library that allows easy AJAX implementations to enhance your website. With a couple of script calls, and class inclusions to your website you can easily access php scripts to read, compute, and return particular results. For instance an html <form> element can be used to capture data, and an AJAX call can be used to access php to compute, return, and display the results without reloading the webpage. The AJAX call can take the form data, access a database, or do direct storage in flat files. The first step is to read up on the prototype package, and see some examples in action.
The prototype library can be found here.
An excellent introductory example of prototype in action can be found here.
And a powerful AJAX project, using protype and other libraries is lightbox!!!

Typosphere is blogging software written with the ever popular Javascript framework Ruby on Rails. The software reminds me of Wordpress although the Ajax page enhancements are slightly more pronounced. Theoretically Wordpress is enough, but in todays day and age even blog-masters wan’t to blog in style. This is style, and Typosphere most definitely has a bright future.
I will be creating a Debian VirtualBox VDI with Typosphere preinstalled

The Bloxpress2 theme for Wordpress utilizes Asynchronous Javascript and XML technologies [AJAX]. The default themes utilizes AJAX to allow widget drag and drop, on-screen relocation. The theme is predominantly W3C compliant, although random errors do occur, which are most likely the result of plugin conflicts. There is a statement of the website that says the theme degrades gracefully. I have not tested this design parameter, although this is becoming an increasingly important standard. User compatibility, and support for the disabled are quickly becoming a required component of a web 2.0 website.
Enjoy the Bloxpress theme if you choose to use it. I also enjoy Vistered Little Theme; there are many excellent Wordpress themes to choose from.

The following Wordpress plugin is effective at transforming your Wordpress blog into a lean mean blogging machine. It will integrate AJAX components into your Wordpress blog to enhance page transitions, add paginiation functionality, and a host of other features. I’m not quite sure how well this plugin works, compatibility wise, with Wordpress themes in general. Some Wordpress themes get kinda complicated, such as Vistered Little and some Wordpress plugins cause conflicts. For more information about the AJAX’d Wordpress Plugin visit their homepage
