We're excited to
announce that Google recently joined the OpenAjax
Alliance, an organization formed to promote open standards and interoperability for
AJAX applications. AJAX plays an
essential role in products like Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Calendar. Through AJAX APIs
like the Maps API and AJAX Search API, we're trying to
reduce the barriers for creating innovative web applications. Similarly, the goal of the Google Web Toolkit is to make it easier
to write large-scale web applications in the Java environment of your choice, and then compile
those applications to compact JavaScript that runs in any browser.
Joining the alliance is a way for us to continue promoting AJAX and innovative web
programming, and we look forward to working with our industry colleagues.
