Chapter 14:
Rich User Interfaces with KSS
As a platform for graphical user interfaces, the humble web browser
is fairly limited. Web applications have exploded in popularity
because they are easy to write and deploy, not because they offer a
superior user experience compared to desktop applications. There are
a limited number of standard controls, and the stateless nature of
HTTP means frequent round trips to the server.
More recently, web developers have started to make use of high-level
JavaScript libraries to provide richer user interfaces with more
advanced client-side interaction patterns. This is often referred to
as AJAX, which stands for "Asynchronous JavaScript And XML",
referring to the technologies involved. In this chapter, we will
learn about KSS, the AJAX framework used in Plone 3.
