Dear Reader,
Welcome to another issue of XML.com.
AJAX has been and continues to be all the rage; if you're getting anywhere
near building a web application any time soon, you need to know about
AJAX. And because you need to know about AJAX, you need to know about
Prototype, too. Prototype is a JavaScript library, one among dozens these
days, that is intended to facilitate AJAX-style development. Bruce Perry
gives us a tour of Prototype this week and helps fill in some of the gaps.
