Refreshing an entire page every time you click a link or key some information into a form takes way too long, even if you have a lot of bandwidth. Fortunately, rapidly advancing software tools, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AJAX\">Ajax<\/a>, are fundamentally changing the old click-refresh cycle by allowing pieces of pages to update independently and rapidly, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powazek.com\/2005\/05\/000520.html\">Derek Powazek explains<\/a>. Ajax, which is featured in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2005\/05\/15\/business\/yourmoney\/15techno.html?\">James Fallows&#8217;s column<\/a> in today&#8217;s New York Times, is most famous for allowing you to scroll around <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/\">Google Maps<\/a> easily. But the implications of Ajax and related technologies reach well beyond that. They promise to make the browser a far better interface for tapping into a wide variety of software applications running on distant computers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ajax and other techniques for speeding up web browsers will also speed up the adoption of utility computing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.roughtype.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
