Mobile AJAX - Slides and Explanations

March 7th, 2007 by Rocco digg it

I was asked a couple of times to post the slides from my presentations (1, 2) about Mobile AJAX, so here they are.

Since I think it can be quite difficult to get valuable information out of these slides without further explanation, I want to use this chance to write a little more about the whole topic from my perspective. I see the topic being discussed in the internet everyday - obviously always from a little different angle, I also see that in some cases the term “Mobile AJAX” is used quite inflationary.

So I created a page about Mobile AJAX, on one hand because I feel the topic is too big for one post in the blog, on the other hand because it is “sticky” on the page and I can keep on editing it there.

Here’s my own opinion on the topic and the current status of my insights into Mobile AJAX. Since I am the developer here at PavingWays and since I have a strong web development background, I will accordingly focus more on the technical side than on business-related areas. I also feel that there is way too few information about the technical side of the whole topic around, so maybe my two cents will even help someone understanding what this mysterious “Mobile AJAX” is all about.

    sehr gut geschrieben!
    wichtig erscheint mir auch noch die standardisierung des XHR, um Kompitabilitätsprobleme wie bei IE, FF usw. zu vermeiden.

    hi erich, the problem of standardization is being worked on by the W3C and there’s a working draft available here: http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/

    if the w3c standards would just be mandatory for every browser vendor…but as with other standards you can’t force the companies to implement them.
