Monthly Ajaxian Roundup for September, 2007: JavaScript mashups take a step forward
Category: Roundup
September was a big month for Ajax development in my opinion. The new JavaScript API that lets you do cross domain secure read-write tells us what will be possible in the future. Now mashups can go from the useful read-only mashing, to powerful applications that let you do everything you need too.
We also saw more tips and tricks in JavaScript land, as well as expansions to new worlds.
Thanks for spending time participating in the community, and I look forward to the Autumn.

Prototype is taking a break from it all, did they give up? They are awfully quiet, maybe they are cooking up something fresh.
Nice article..
