I have been doing a lot of work with the Microsoft AJAX Toolkit lately.
Most recently, I have implemented it on a major insurance website I am always adding features to.
I am also updating the iArchitect CMS to be 100% AJAX-enabled. Very soon, you will see it on this website.
If you're not familiar with AJAX, here's the
Wikipedia definition.
Basically, it's the process of updating small portions of a webpage instead of refreshing the entire page. For example,
when you leave a comment to a blog on this website, instead of refreshing the entire page, I can now just refresh the comments area.
This presents a much more enjoyable user experience and speeds up the website.
When a portion of a webpage is being updated, you will see an animated image indicating so.
While working on these websites, I found the need to create custom animated images.
These are not easy to create...until now.
