AJAX Developer Day at XTech

Today was a solid day of demos, details and development on AJAX in Amsterdam at XTech. One speaker pointed out that there are now over 134 AJAX frameworks - it is amazing to see what developers are doing in the browser.

Flex drew some oohs and aahs as well with this crowd - seeing great components being built for Flex definitely build interest in the platform.

Highlights from the lightning demo session today include:
- Carculatr - a used car pricing guide built on AJAX for mobile
- Javeline - data driven UI and events for AJAX
- Adactio - link hijacks mashup in a terminal application UI (there was AJAX GUI too, but the terminal stuff was cooler)
- DabbleDB - like a file maker application (db) for the web - columns with context
- Opera AJACS - full screen AJAX on a Nokia with Canvas to handle 3D and audio
- eMessenger - componentized AJAX chat client based on the big messenger providers
