I’m sure that by now you have heard all the hoopla about Web 2.0. There are some pretty cool things you can do with Ajax, and what is considered Web 2.0…. but there is some bad news.
Ajax is primarily how Web 2.0 programming is done. It means that small “widgets” of a page are updated dynamically with out refreshing the whole page.
Great for admin area’s, poll results, etc… Really really bad for anything you want the search engines to index properly.
Why? Search Engines won’t read Javascript and that’s what controls a Ajax function.
Don’t go crazy trying to figure this out if your not a programmer. But I did come across a book that will help you learn just enough to get yourself in trouble. You need to know at least that much to even hire someone to help you with the programming aspect. —-> If you don’t know how something works you can’t ask for it right?
Great ‘funny almost’ programming primer on Ajax. I enjoyed reading it – Head Rush Ajax
