I meant to post this last week but was in Fredericton most of the week in many, many meetings.
Adobe has released a preview version of their AJAX framework (titled SPRY) which will allow designers with basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript to create/implement AJAX apps in their websites. Plans to incorporate with Dreamweaver are in the future. Hmmm. Interesting. But I wonder how many instances of AJAX for AJAX's sake will start to populate the web once this is released wide. I hope people will think to use it when it makes sense to use it (ie: when it makes user interaction with the website easier).
