HTML_AJAX goes Beta!

Today we released the first beta version (0.5.0) of HTML_AJAX. This is a pretty big milestone as it means that future versions of the API will be backward compatible.
The next big thing to do is to improve the documentation, so if anyone feels like helping, please do so (http://www.htmlajax.org). You can install the latest version by using "pear install -f HTML_AJAX"

Hands On: Understanding AJAX

ComputerWorld.com has an excerpt from Joshua Eichorn's new AJAX book "Understanding AJAX: Using Javascript to Create Rich Internet Applications".
It looks like Amazon.com already has the book in stock, I'll be ordering myself a copy this week.

HTML_AJAX 0.4.1 Released

This new version of HTML_AJAX was released on 06/13/2006. It is mostly a maintenance release with a few bug fixes. If you're still using 0.4.0 you might want to upgrade.
The library seems to have stabilized a lot in the last few months, so we will now concentrate our efforts towards the first beta release.

Finally

I finally decided to get my own blog. I doubt that I'll be editing it very often but it can come in handy sometimes. So here it is...
I also made some good use of my Google Page Creator account today, I posted pictures of us and Natalie (http://laurenty.googlepages.com/nataliefaith)
I spend some of my free time working on AJAX stuff. I've been using HTML_AJAX (http://www.htmlajax.org) and I've also been helping with the project.
