XAJAX intro and more from Marco
Marco, this great guy and talented web-dev from Netherlands (spelled ?????»?°???????? in Bulgarian, as in Holland), has a great intro to xajax. If you're browsing around to pick an AJAX library that suits you best, this is a must post to check out.
On a different note, apparently Marco never sleeps, because he just finished a theme for a Typo contest (Typo is a blogging software, very AJAX-rich) and his blog just became a part of the 9rules network. Keep an eye on this guy (and that rhymes! 
) as I get the feeling we're going to see more from him in the coming months. And that doesn't mean you shouldn't consult his past posts, because you should, great stuff there.
And on a completely different note - I was this close of carrying the family name "Markov", my father's family name used to be Markov after a grand-grand-…-grand-father whose first name was Marko (or Marco) but my father changed his name to Stefanov. This close…

Don't even mention it
I was outside kicking a ball with my daughter today and I suddenly thought of another Marco - Marco Van Basten. He and Ruud Gullit and Rijkaard (ok, I googled Rijkaard's name up, I couldn't spell by myself
) - these guys were really something on the world's football scene! I kind of lost touch with the European football since I moved to Canada (here just like in the US, football means a different ball game and the real football is called soccer). I wonder - does Netherlands still have a strong football team? Probably yes

Most definitely! We've got a pretty nice team again. And… ex top gun Marco van Basten is now coaching the team. Does that rock or what?
The Dutch team ended 1st in the qualification pool for the World Cup 2006 so I hope they'll do great in Germany next year!

lol
I wish my name was Pierre and would get involved in this chatter that way :p –> Fener fan !
well, www.kunterilalan.com/card is the first AJAX implementation of mine, may not be looking great and sophisticated code-wise, but perhaps is still an interesting apllication where you don't see much around : a smart card.visit application ..
so why this is here as a reply to your page? well, I'm a regular follower? checker? :p ? code-friend? :p okay friend to you both and as soon as I finished my own BLOG ing software, I'll start writing about you and the other tech. things.
thnx for the written sup, now I can publish an ALERT with JS :p

I've forgotten to mention that blue screen was actually a text field, not a plain image. Use that screen to TYPE. ' Help ' is useful to list what built-in functions currently exist. For no-genius people I must say the stand alone command "hava istanbul' would give result in the latest meteorological data recorded. ' astro koc ' will give you your weekly ARIES horoscope as the word 'koc' designates 'aries' in turkish, whereas 'aslan' i.e. is 'leo' and etc….
The system was intented to demonstrate a new way of presentation, say, a curriculum vitae or an ID card or a FAQ and so on. This one basically shows what AJAX combination would be capable of.
I like to hear your comments though. Stoyan's site was one of my KEY resources to understand the general AJAX behaviour, including from what it is, why it exists, how long can it go, as well as other general web development trends and matters. Take care!
