This article discusses the various AJAX toolkits that are available today. With the wide array of toolkits that are available, it's becoming easier to develop web applications that use AJAX. This will take away some of the coolness factor of AJAX since part of that stems from the black magic that's required in JavaScript programming. Especially with the server-side and declarative programming models of the toolkits listed in the article, the developer won't even be exposed to any JavaScript at all! I'm not so sure I like the toolkits with the declarative programming models--building your UIs using their custom XML tags. I'm sure it makes things really easy and will allow for more adoption of AJAX, etc., etc.--but then it makes building AJAX apps like building ColdFusion apps! And that ain't cool! (Apologies in advance to any ColdFusion developers still out there).
