…you’ll Realize that the programing world has passed you buy. I was reading Joel Spolsky’s latest article this morning and was compelled to mention it here. Joel talks about how the future of AJAX will lie in a as of yet created SDK that will compile to javascript and allow one source to resolve all our current cross-browser issues. It is an interesting argument that if the googles of the world don’t create it themselves then some punk kid will.
I for one hope that this does come true, but I will go further to say that it is already happening. We have libraries out there, like jQuery, that already handle a lot of the cross-browser issues that we as AJAX developers experience. The one issue that Joel mentioned which I think is a big one is the CSS one. I would hope that in the future that one of these libraries pick up on this as they have with the way JS behaves on different browsers.
