What is Rich user experience? Well is to make it easy for the user to interact with user interfaces in order to get more people to use them more. Hardly any (for not saying all of them) successful sites have a difficult ‘unfriendly’ user interface; most of them use different tools to make it easy for users. It’s the combination of style and flair are important considerations, but beauty must be matched by easily achieve functionality.
Let’s have a look at Ajaxrain. Ajaxrain is a site that puts together tutorials and user friendly scripts on programs most web developers need in order to create a successful website (Photoshop, HMTL5, Flash and specially AJAX). Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript And XML) has gone from being rare to being a household name in the web development community. Why? Because users want is for developers to build applications that meet their needs and that are easy to use. There is need to support advanced multimedia types such as sound and video and a wish for browser applications to behave more like familiar desktop applications or RIAs (Rich Internet Applications).
Ajaxrain is all about what web developers need in order to have more user friendly tools. For example drop-down menus
Or fancy footers....
In my opinion it is great that a website shows great tools and scripts to make websites look better and user friendly. Now there is no reason to have a mediocre website that only displays boring text when so many tools are available for free.

Good AJAX portal. I usually use AJAX with PHP to create web pages. AJAX is such a good technology which can make my life a lots more easier.However, I sometimes use javascript/CSS to create the drop-down list menus which is pretty easy and I use AJAX for check new available information from the database.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with you portfolio
AJAX is great. I've always seen awesome things being done with AJAX but have never really used it with my web development yet. Hadn't even heard of AJAX rain I'll have to check it out sometime, thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteAJAX is probably the best thing when it comes down to dynamic websites. However, I did happen to come across some websites with buggy AJAX. Some of the AJAX contents loads slower than the non-ajax version. And keep in mind AJAX simply doesn't work with the back/forward button on your browser!
