This post is a collection of links for now, although I should probably just collect them in del.ico.us, I won’t. Not much of an explanation. I think I first heard the phrase XMLHttpRequest on Ian’s weblog (can’t find a link to the post), but wasn’t sure what it was or what it could do. Since then, it’s popped up a few more times. This morning it just sort of clicked for me, “this is what Google is using to do all their neat tricks.” One of the few reasons I’ve wanted to really learn Flash, is to have more interactive web content. Now I’m not sure I’d need to, I could just use this fancy toy to do similar stuff with straight HTML.

Dynamic HTML and XML: The XMLHttpRequest Object From Apple. Some guidlines on what not to do, an article to read, and finally a guy that wrote about it in 2002 is now getting more hits.

Edited to add an even better overview from Tucows.

All very interesting, mostly just the ten first hits from google. I think this is going to be high on my learning list for the next couple of days.
