Ajax for the Enterprise - Look No Further
I was interested to see an article from Dr. Dobb’s that essentially reinforces the long-standing design semantics espoused by NOLOH and its fanatical developers. You can find the article I am referring to here.
Whilst the platform it references is Java based, the message is somewhat similar. NOLOH has long since emphasised the advantage of a server based approach to web development.
Typically, server-side approaches need to be embellished with additional client-side Javascript libraries to give the Ajax capabilities so prevalent and expected in modern web applications. Using Fat/Rich client-side Javascript frameworks, you tend to have to replicate work on the server that you have done on the client. Moreover, that replicated work is generally in a different language. So, duplicated effort combined with a lower security threshold as client-side Javascript can be relatively easily exposed along with your application’s business logic and other internals that you would probably rather be safe and secure on the server.
This isn’t the case in NOLOH. With NOLOH, you just write code and NOLOH delivers on a just in time basis, highly optimized HTML and Javascript. Client side effects that you would usually have to code are just served up by NOLOH and it takes care that what it provides is specific to, and therefore optimized for the browser in question.
So, if you’re a PHP developer and don’t want to be continuously cranking out HTML and Javascript, then look no further. Head on over to http://www.noloh.com/ and give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.
