Today I have done a tongue-in-cheek presentation of AJAX to my colleagues, including the historic background, the technology and the buzzwords. It also includes some code samples, compatible with Firefox, showing how to implement a synchronous and an asynchronous connection with the XmlHttpRequest component.
I did the original presentation with Keynote, and all I can say is: WOW! This application is light years away from everything else. It took me longer to figure out what to do than to do it. Powerpoint is such a pain in the … that this was a welcome switch. I just exported it to PDF for sharing it with you.
You can download everything right here! Feel free to tell me what do you think in the comments below.

Powerpoint is just an unusable piece of ****. Open your eyes… As for the PDF reader, the ones included in Ubuntu and Mac OS X are lightweight and great ;)

I find it easy to use…shrug.
As for PDF reader, thats like me saying I can’t find a good chinese restaurant near me…and you saying, thats ok there is one in germany and one in south africa…which is terrific but neither of them help me :P
Ubuntu doesn’t work on my tablet PC and neither does Mac OS X. and paying > 1000 CHF for a PDF reader appliance is more then a bit silly…
