Hello Sean,
Usually I’ve nothing to add to Mashable toolbox lists but this time I have to add a link.
Miniajax is not updated for months while AjaxRain is very similar to Miniajax but is updated every day. At the time I am writing this comment, it has more than 740 scripts while Miniajax has about 30.
Alex
Yikes I have to say that this is probably one of the weakest tool lists on Mashable.
P.S. (sorry about the double comment)
Great list by the way!
You didn’t include AjaxRain. AjaxRain, http://www.ajaxrain.com has demos and examples for anyone to download and play with. They host some of the best Ajax Apps.
Best, Lawk Salih
Hi Sean,
One library that you didn’t mention which provides a comprehensive framework for building desktop-like apps is Ext. The newest release, Ext 2.0 Alpha, was just announced today:
