Ajax on Rails
In a few short months, Ajax has moved from an obscure and rarely used technology to the hottest thing since sliced bread. This article introduces the incredibly easy-to-use Ajax support that is part of the Ruby on Rails web application framework. This is not a step-by-step tutorial, and I assume that you know a little bit about how to organize and construct a Rails web application.

Sergey Brin: No Office suite for Google from Guardian Unlimited: Technology
Sergey Brin: No Office suite for Google
By Jack Schofield / Google 11:39am
At ZD Net, Dan Farber reports:
Google co-founder Sergey Brin made a guest appearance at the Web 2.0 conference. During his conversation, hosted by John Battelle, someone from the audience asked Brin about when a 'Google Office,' a web-based productivity suite, would appear. Brin responded: "I don't really think that the thing is to take a previous generation of technology and port them directly, and say can we do the minicomputer on the Web on AJAX makes sense. I'm not saying that's what [Microsoft] Office is, I'm just saying that I think the Web and Web 2.0, if that's what you want to call it, gives you the opportunity to do new and better things than the Office package and more. We don't have any plans [to do an office suite]."

Comment:
The silly hype about Google offering a hosted OpenOffice -- based on no facts at all, as far as I can see -- hasn't done Google's image any good among people who have a clue, so it's no surprise to find Brin rubbishing the idea. And in response, for example, InfoWorld's Dave Rosenberg blogs: "Finally, it's been said! Google has regained some respect in my eyes".
Of course, Brin is not sayng that Google will never offer office-style capabilities online, but that if it did, Google would do it in a way that fitted the Brave New Web, not just try to rejig something based on a failed commercial desktop program from a previous century.
Whether Google could pull it off is another matter. Now Google and its founders are enormously rich and powerful, people are less inclined to forgive the failings of its software, as illustrated by Rosenberg's aside on "its amazingly weak RSS reader -- why can't this company do much right beyond Search?"

Simplified Media? - Microsoft, OpenOffice, and the Google Textarea
The big technology news this week is about a Microsoft memo freaking out over Google. This panic is seen in a few ways - a late-breaking dash for more search capabilities, and a sudden appreciation (in IE7 and in the next release of Office) for open stadards. But the big worry is web applications - hosted services that might replace the desktop software products upon which MS built an empire.

Schnelle OpenOffice - UNO Entwicklungen mit NOA (Nice Office Access)
Die Java UNO (Universal Network Objects) API von OpenOffice.org ist ein flexibles und mächtiges Werkzeug. Aber die inhärente Komplexität und ungewohnte Handhabung dieser API macht den Einstieg schwer und zeitaufwendig. Mit der leichtgewichtigen Wrapper und High Level API NOA können Sie schnell OpenOffice.org basierte Anwendungen entwickeln - ohne in die üblichen "Anfängerfallen" zu tappen.

Danymic Ajax tabs
CSS Tabs seem to be all the rage with the kids these days. It seems that the most popular method of creating tabs using CSS is the Sliding Doors method. They seem to look the coolest and are very easy to implement. However, they're so... static.
Taking up the idea of the sliding door tabs and mixed them up with a little javascript and ajax to make them very dynamic on the client side.
