Adobe aims to ease AJAX programming
By MacCentral Staff

Adobe Systems on Thursday will debut technology intended to make AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) programming easier for Web designers.

The company will offer a free pre-release version of an AJAX framework called Spry. The Spry framework is HTML-centric and features a JavaScript library specifically oriented to Web designers, said Jennifer Taylor, senior product manager for Adobe’s Dreamweaver products. Developed at Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/about/), the pre-release features data capabilities to incorporate XML into HTML documents using technologies such as HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, and a minimal amount of JavaScript.

Sweet.  I just downloaded it and am installing now.  More to follow.
