AJAX-powered user interfaces can dramatically improve the user experience of Web-based applications in many different ways. SourceLogic Solutions can review your application and identify where AJAX can offer the most dramatic impact and and best return on investment.

On the lightweight end of the spectrum, you can re-implement basic features of your Web application to be more responsive and offer visual pizzazz (e.g. Google-style "suggest" search box, background content loading, balloon help, tabbed displays, sortable tables, etc). On the other end of the spectrum, rich AJAX clients can replace Web-based portals as a way to interact with Web services and SOA assets (e.g. Enterprise Mashups).

What it takes to succeed with AJAX

It is common to think that the same Web developers who code Java or .NET server-side Web applications or design CSS-based HTML pages, will be able to quickly become expert AJAX developers. The reality is usually very different. The technical skills are are not the same, the UI demands are more complex, the ramp up time can be high and it can be time-consuming to evaluate the various frameworks as they relate to your customer and back-end needs.

SourceLogic Solutions provides you with a UI design and development team that is experienced with a broad range of AJAX component libraries and frameworks, and understands the CSS, HTML and DOM programming necessary for implementation. This gives your team more time to come up to speed, decisions on what AJAX tools to use, a strategy on how to incrementally add AJAX, and a visual blueprint of how the final web application will operate.
