I gave a live tutorial/demo at work today for room full of folks. I've posted the source code and powerpoint below. The title is pretty self explanatory...just a very simple demonstration of AJAX techniques using jQuery JavaScript and PHP on the server side in a very crude Twitter-like mini-posting app.

Here’s the link to the AJAX loading gif generator:

There are tons of options to choose from at this site.
Thanks Bo. I it too. Is it just me or is AJAX development just plain fun?
Thanks for coming to the session today.
Sure is. I’m also loving how jQuery makes Javascript so much more accessible. I was never a big Javascript guy, but I could putz around enough. Now I can do tons more stuff with less code. (Yeah, I’m shameless like that.)
Thanks for putting together the presentation. I enjoyed getting a local perspective on the subject. Plus, it’s good to know there’s somebody close by to bounce ideas/problems off of if necessary.
Thanks Chris for the presentation and demo. It was crystal clear, and finally convinced me that I should not be afraid of starting tip-toeing in AJAX/JQuery water! I will definitively put your demo to good use. Thanks again.
