You really know you’ve got cranial meltdown when you got that really dull throbbing at the back of your head… but peeling your eyes away from the screen is just torture – “Gotta get this thing solved by sundown!!! “&%#$(^%&*@$%$!!” – you don’t want to, no… cannot possibly, read another word of tutorials, but you know you have to… so it boils down to: do it, or die…
If you’re doing AJAX on Ruby on Rails, trust us, you’ll want to know these two words: Prototype and Scriptaculous (we don’t – yet). In the coming weeks, we’ll be posting stuff on Prototype and Scriptaculous and – if we can actually glue our brains together again – post a quick guide (or cheatsheet, if you want) for all you guys out there who don’t think they can suffer like we did today…
You can also use Scriptaculous with Seaside (http://seaside.st), the scaleable web-continuation framework written in portable Smalltalk.
Thanks! will definitely look into Seaside once we’re done learning scriptaculous!
