Yesterday, I (proudly) sent the following mail to the office:
“We have just officially entered PersonL (last minute) into this years TechCrunch50 Contest
We had half applied, decided it was too late, and then they mailed me yesterday and asked me to complete the entry by tomorrow…
So we got cracking and churned out a much upgraded web […]
Off we go! Another year of discovery, excitement, change and quite possibly some daunting challenges awaits our brave developer hearts once more. As we walk bleary-eyed to our desks again, fresh smells of coffee filling the office, it’s an excellent time to refocus – amongst other things – on our technical goals; how we’d like […]
Introduction
First up, I have to mention that my first experience in the programming world was with C# .NET. I thought that I would never move to another language never mind leaving the .NET framework.I started working at WhiteWallWeb and the oddity language PHP4. Coming from a completely object oriented approach to the scripting PHP4 pattern […]
I am currently at BarCamp Cape Town - day two. It is rather small but there are some smart guys here and the discussion is very stimulating.
Currently Adrian Rossouw from Bryght did a useful presentation on Drupal. Everyone who has the required knowledge seems to agree with our hypothesis that Drupal is the best platform […]

As said in my post about Google Finance, expect more stock related web apps… Have a look at StockTickr, a similar idea to SocialPicks, but not as nicely presented. You can add your own watchlist and see other user’s watchlists.

AJAX is increasingly popular for building web applications and is a central component of the web 2.0 phenomenon. Many of the new google applications including GMail, Google Calendar, Google Reader and Google Maps use AJAX components to create their excellent usability.

Moving over to an AJAX approach is not something to be taken lightly and certainly not something to jump into without good planning.
