Lovely bloke, but no idea what he is blogging about most of the time. But Duncan Cragg’s latest blog about declarative Ajax makes a little bit of sense to a non-techy like me. It is contains some great nuggets to play back to those people in the business that want to keep the website stuck in circa 1999. “We don’t want JavaScript. Not interested in this Ajax stuff. It ain’t DDA compliant”. That’s OK. Start by designing without the JavaScript and add the cool stuff later. I’ve seen this done on several ThoughtWorks projects, building DDA compliant websites yet have some truly awesome interactive capabilities using Ajax. …And seen the heads of the web-luddites nodding in approval as we show the site provides a compelling experience for non-JS users, and an even more compelling experience for JS users.
