Awful, egregriously bad article. Beyond wanting to tear my hair out from the prose itself, it doesn't provide any proof to support its central thesis. "The frenzied days of web 2.0 are over", "others believe this technology is on its way out." Citation, please? If you just pull something out of your ass, say so; otherwise provide some evidence for your conclusion. Is it worth pointing out that the principal reason the author gives for AJAX being on the "way out" is that developers misuse it? Boy, that sure hasn't stopped HTML, Flash, Javascript, CSS...
Ugh. How did this make the front page again?
"No", indeed.
- jimbokun 18y agoI thought it might be a good article, but then it ended right after the introduction where I thought the actual content of the argument would arrive.
- m0nty 18y agoI was thinking basically the same thing. If I'd submitted an essay like that at college, it would have come back dripping with comments like "please justify", "what exactly is your argument?" and that old favourite "you need to develop your ideas". Also, this: "The user doesn’t care about sophisticated interface features. Locating the desired information is the primary focus." I do care very much about sophisticated interfaces, maybe the author meant "interface bling"? I suspect, in fact, that is what was meant -- fancy but pointless DOM effects are on their way out. We can always hope.
