ASK - AJAX Source Kit:
The purpose of ASK is to offer you a simple way to get content into your page on-the-fly through asynchronous JavaScript and XmlHttpRequest, without sacrificing accessibility or usability.
Via Paul Hammond. And, actually, the other day I went through a whole bunch of links about Ajax, most of them having to do with Ajax behavior regarding Internet latency (i.e. with Ajax, you have to worry about what happens if your connection drops, or your responses arrive out of order), that I found on Paul's blog, including everything from Harry Fuecks over here and most or all of the links in his presentations. Interesting stuff I hadn't thought about before, including examples using small proxy servers written in Python (bonus!).
Hmm, for more on Ajax for this evening, see Mastering Ajax, Part 3: Advanced requests and responses in Ajax (via Michael). Also to look at in more detail, and also via Michael, Script Callbacks in ASP.NET 2.0. Both these articles I haven't yet read.
