Microsoft's Atlas eases AJAX development, consultant says
eWeek | at | by Mike
Nemhauser said one of the major problems with AJAX development is complexity. "I find it challenging enough to keep up with the technologies I have to keep up with, let alone to have to deal with manual creation of event handlers, messaging, client-side script, etc.," he said, speaking of tasks he would have to perform to do AJAX development from scratch.
"JavaScript is not an object-oriented language. It does not have strong typing; there is no exception handling; and there is no inheritance. One of the biggest problems with the AJAX approach is the amount of time it takes writing and debugging all that code," he said.
