We already know, when it comes to Ajax, there's never too much information. Even the smallest writing that has "Ajax" in it's title makes us click. Everything that claims to be web 2.0 must have this magic ingredient inside. There are so many places where Ajax would perform better than everything else out there and there's no wonder any more that every day brings something new, better, lighter or amazingly beautiful. We wanted so badly something that would do everything that Ajax can, something that would be able to create such effects without even thinking of Flash. With a huge impact over the user and browsing experience and such a strong community of developers. Dialog boxes, file uploads, frameworks or new demos, everything gathered here in a developer roundup featuring the best Ajax resources of September.
