Ajax cleans up

Given that JavaPro proclaimed 2005 the Year of Ajax, it's almost surprising that the mix of technologies described by that acronym are still hot. But so it seems.

For example, in the past week: The jMaki project has released the version 1.0 beta of the jMaki Ajax framework for creating Ajax web apps using Java, while DWR's 2.0 RC1 release introduced reverse Ajax functionality. On IBM's Developerworks site, Bruce Tate has an article for Java developers promoting Ajax on Rails. And Gary Horen argues that new Ajax runtime frameworks make Ajax a more realistic way to develop rich user interfaces for Web applications. DevX did a roundup of said Ajax frameworks. And that's just a quick sampling.
