Two distinct paradigms of
AJAX use have emerged in
the last few years of
AJAX innovation. At one
end of the spectrum, we
see vast use of AJAX for
enriching Web pages -
adding some interactive
features on top of the
basic model of an HTML
Web page. At the other
end of the spectrum we've
seen a growing set of
solutions that rival the
features and
functionality of desktop
software - full AJAX
software applications.
There's a common
misconception among many
end users, consumers, and
developers that AJAX is
the ultimate solution for
the Web and that it can
provide all the same
functionality as a rich
desktop solution. Sure,
AJAX can cover most of
our expectations for a
rich client, mimicking
functionality provided by
a desktop application,
but there's still one
area that has yet to be
fully integrated
scalable server-initiated
message delivery.
