You know what I hate? When I feel my phone vibrating on my hip and I’m not wearing my phone.
This is my first time in Amsterdam. The training site is an IBM center, but I think this is just a room rental. I’m a sub to a sub to a sub again, so it’s a bit confusing. It’s also rather surprising that my client’s client felt that it was worth the travel costs to hold a class for only three people. Works for me, though.
The Ajax materials I’m using this time are very different from the one’s I’ve used before and they’re pretty raw. Lots of set-up and lab corrections to do, but I think I have most of them worked out now. It’s very interesting that these materials are strongly focused on Ajax tool kits like Prototype, Dojo, and Rico. That’s no doubt the future of Ajax. From a spectator sport point of view, I’ll be watching to see which toolkits win the mindshare wars.
Prototype is definitely going to win, partly because it’s cool ($(), $F(), and all that) and partly because it’s the basis of so many others. I’m not sure whether Dojo and Rico are going to win out over Scriptaculous, though. We’ll see.
