AJAX-Tips
Better user interface is always important in a web or software process. Not all users of the software are internet or computer savvy, so it’s important to have a user interface that’s easy to understand and works according to plan. To achieve this goal, developers are using Ajax, one of the most dynamic coding to create user interface in the industry for software and web sites. Creating Ajax in paper is easy but in reality, the creation of Ajax based user interface is really complicated. The combination of XML and JavaScript is more complicated that it practically needs a programmer with a “rocket scientist” like ability in coding. There are small businesses that don’t have the capability to create user interface based on Ajax because manpower is limited. They do have programmers to create programs but an Ajax based website or program is not possible because of time. Programmers need to look for a provider of Ajax based user interface. Answering this need is DHTMLX, a Russia-based software development company. The company was established in 1998 starting out by creating HTML based user interface. As the need of different coding increases, DHTMLX has adapted to this demand by creating more user interface in different coding languages. Recently, DHTMLX came up with another coding language to answer the need for a better user interface. As the company releases user interface codes with Ajax, the website was also updated to show their expertise in Ajax. Most companies that offer this type of services just list what they can do with the support of their different clients. DHTMLX goes the other way. Instead of writing what they can do and posting testimonials of those who use their codes, the company actually shows who they do it. Samples of their work are now posted online. From toolbars, menu, Grid and TreeGrid, potential clients could actually test their website with the things they could do. DHTMLX also introduces a new concept called Docs Explorer. With this component, developers will be able to navigate in the documentation provided by DHTLMX and work on the components and change some things to customize the programs into their own. Aside from APIs that makes the user interface customizable, the Docs Explorer can give the programmers more insight about the product. Docs Explorer will somehow simplify the documentation and navigation through the samples and use them accordingly to whatever business or customer oriented environment they need. DHTMLX hopes to change the ability of a web-based company by providing more previews in what the company can actually do. With posting samples in what they can do, they will certainly create an advantage over other websites that offers the same services. Simply put, giving more information to companies what they can do and what they know certainly gives them a better advantage compared to other companies. Aside from the web interface and samples, DHTMLX also changed their knowledge tree interface to help web developers understand the code faster. This will accelerate the understanding of Ajax-based user interface.
