OnLoad is one of the most powerful functions in an Ajax based application. With this function developers could easily render other functions which enables asynchronous streaming of data. OnLoad also have the ability to target specific areas in the webpage so that each window will be working independently which further enhances the interactivity of an Ajax based website. What makes OnLoad even more powerful is the ability of the function to interact not only with the server but also with the user as well. Developers could point different functions if OnLoad is optimized in the website.

One could say that even the smallest thing in any application could mean so much for their users. For example, the option for “print this” in a webpage is very easy for any web developer but it could mean an easy interaction with the material with the user. It doesn’t take that much bandwidth, the coding is easier and you’ll be sure that the user will have as much option as they can in your website. This situation is the same with the Ajax application. Developers exhausted as many options that they can to ensure that the application will work faster while maintaining its functionality.

Post-load script maybe one of the most challenging tasks for developers especially those that use a framework for building an Ajax application. In a framework setting, developers will always work in a setting wherein JavaScript is involved. When post load happens, developers will be limited in their functions since the functions may need to run without the help of JavaScript. Without the proper coding, developers might slow down the process instead of speeding them up since asynchronous streaming of information is not there because JavaScript is not used.

There are hundreds of frameworks out there that are aimed in helping developers who are not familiar with JavaScript to build an Ajax based application. Some of these frameworks are just drag and drop so you won’t even have to sweat so much in building an Ajax based website. These frameworks are free and with any language that you fancy, Ajax has the corresponding frameworks that you can use. With the use of frameworks, Ajax development becomes an easy task. The core of every framework is still JavaScript. Most of the frameworks just translate the original coding into JavaScript so that Ajax could be created.

Building an Ajax based applications is mostly difficult due to the fact that codes are usually rendered longer. Because different web developments are used in building an Ajax based applications, developers have to combine these codes so that they can achieve the asynchronous function of Ajax. If the web browser is not updated and the client’s bandwidth is not strong, these long codes in Ajax will never be read. The result is an online application that freezes before it is completely loaded. Also part of the “freezing” problem in Ajax applications is the parsing of the codes. If the application could be loaded successfully in the client’s browser, parsing takes over so that information will be slowly loaded as requested by the user.

Object instantiation is important for Ajax since it increases the loading time of its functions. Developers have to work with objects most of the time since the objects should be able to determine the behavior of the functions as well as its performance. However, the number of objects in an Ajax application will never mean that the function will work faster. There are certain tricks that the developer could do to ensure that the objects will work for the optimization of the application instead of being a burden.

Latency in the client side should be reduced or even prevented as possible. More often than not, users will have to deal with latency because of different factors. It could be on the bandwidth of the user, the server problem or just the coding of the application. Any of these factors could be the cause of latency. However, the first two factors could be easily optimized since it is just the hardware or bandwidth requirement of the user and the server. On the other hand, coding of the application especially on an Ajax based website is a little bit difficult to optimize to prevent further latency.

Optimizing files for Ajax is essential for building an Ajax based application. Every developer wants to their online application to be accessible to as many users as possible. By building a lightweight application, they ensure that any user – whether they are running with the highest bandwidth possible or just through dial up, could easily access their Ajax based website. Although websites could still run and be light without the file optimization, the interactivity and the aesthetic beauty of the website is just not there since so many things are sacrificed just to build an interactive and fully functional website. But with optimization, sacrificing user interaction for the sake of access will never happen.

Flash could be seen everywhere. Our online videos are usually rendered in flash, there are simple flash games that we can enjoy and it is used to provide a highly interactive website. Flash even beats Java in loading times. But Flash is often thought as just another eye-candy application that has become essential for online use. JavaScript on the other hand is a client side web development language that has become the pillar of an Ajax based web technique. The popularity of Ajax is obvious today because Ajax based websites, frameworks and tools are growing exponentially. More and more developers are becoming interested in JavaScript and on how to properly use their preferred web development language through the framework.

MySql is a very powerful database application that is frequently used for websites. Because of its ability to adapt to different web languages, MySql is found almost everywhere. From the very small websites to highly complicated web based applications, MySql could easily handle the database management demands of any company or business. Although it could be used in any development language, porting the data from MySql to Ajax is a little bit of a challenge. Updating the Ajax webpage could be easily done by adding a code that frequently checks on MySql and relays the information to the client. But this will cause a bandwidth problem and data management could not be really achieved since no user input is being made. Although streaming data is very easy with the use of Ajax, you cannot just sacrifice bandwidth just to have an easy application. The use of database should have user interaction so that the data extracted is correct without sacrificing too much bandwidth.
