Anyone played with this? How'd it go?

I've been thinking of having a go with it...

vBulletin uses it for a lot of things. Haven't had much use myself to dig into it yet.

I've been playing around now for about 10 mins, got the basic idea down. Haven't made anything useful come of it yet though.

ok, it's a clock... it loads and calls a php file based on a javascript timer and sticks it into the file. Not that impressive...

But for the first time I think I could actually create a chat room, so that has to be worth something.

I was actually thinking of using this to create simple multi-player games. How about a vBulletin Poker plug in? or a LORD clone that lets you do realtime battles... ok that one might take a little more time then I got... but that kind of thing.

would def. be cool :)

Ajax is great for cleaning...

...oh you didn't mean the cleanser ;)

never heard of it....but it has been added to my list of things to "play" with after I'm done with school.

I have heard of it but that is about as far as it goes.

ok, quick what it is.

If you use the quick reply on here you'll notice that it does not refresh the page after you post. In adds the new pieces into the page without a refresh.

Combine it with a autocheck for new content and a database and you can have interactive stuff, like a chat room or games :)

Meaning you can reload only specific pieces of a page instead of needing to reload the whole page. This can speed up page loading considerably.

sounds useful.....to some degree....maybe i should learn php and css first....lol.

Not to mention xhtml, javascript and sql ;)

It gets made out to be more complex then it really is, once you got some javascript down it should come together.

lol..... I thought with school coming to an end my learning would decrease...guess not.....sql, javascript, xhtml, dhtml, css, php....all on my list.....along with flash and some more knowledge on graphics packages...wow I am going to be busy.

nobody ever said making websites was easy ;)

Microsoft did. Thats why they make FrontPage. LOL

ok, let me rephrase...

Nobody ever said making worthwhile websites was easy.

Frontpage made nonsense and piece it together from templates in 3 easy steps sites are a wate of bandwidth. Do it right or not at all I say! :eek:

What did the FrontPage user say to the Dreamweaver user?
HTML? Whats that? You don't need that for a website do you?

AJAX is just one of those things you need a real tool to do. :)

It is amazing how much more powerful notepad is then frontpage isn't it? :D

(ok, I actually use bluefish)

Bluefish....thats like FP, but without the bugs, security holes, proprietary bots and bloat right? :D

It basically boils down to a glorified text editor. It's a programming tool, not html, so there is no site preview or WYSIWIG editing or anything.
