The common routine with ajax based web applications is for javascript to make the ajax request to the server and on the server we write a page with a function in our favorite server side language be it PHP or ASP that performs the request and returns a response.
Well, IBM released a javascript API that lets developers use javascript to update the database of their web applications directly. It still needs a server side gateway to process the requests, nevertheless, it's an interesting concept.
What are the Pros and Cons ? Will the time come where all logic will be in the front end using javascript and we'll have no need for such server side languages like PHP, ASP or even TCL on Aolserver ?
Sounds very useful! I'm using Nenest for database, which is much easier.
ReplyDeleteNenest is slick. Looks like it's more than just a database. It also has a form builder. Kinda reminds me of Apex (http://www.oracle.com/technology/apex/index.html)
