Recently, I was messing with the three all together. I realized that I should probably learn a bit more about javascript and it's uses in web applications. I've always wanted to make a useful web application on a website using AJAX for smooth transitions and API to manage social network accounts.

I recently worked with an application for twitter using open source codes and found javascript and API calls to be very fast. The speed on it's response was amazing. With AJAX being able to update the progress bar on a long script, I thought it was very cool.

I'm used to only using HTML and PHP to handle all web applications and I'm really tired of having a different page for each function or having to refresh with a posted ($_POST) variable or including he variable in the url. It seems nice to be able to do it all on one page.

Not sure if I've ever mentioned it, but I'm majoring in Marketing and Advertising. I deal with social networks and website analytics everyday. I work for my father currently while I go to school, but I manage all of his company's advertising campaigns and being able to connect to people through social networks is great. Almost all of them have API configurations for PHP and Javascript. Playing around with the system is helping me understand how the websites work. It's interesting.

The only thing that not great about the use of Javascript is the fact that it runs after the page is loaded and it's output is not included in the source code. Therefore most search engines see nothing produced by it because they hate the language. That could be a good thing though. I only want to learn it for program/application purposes. I've seen some really nice things come out of javascript programs.

By the way, what happened to all the filter options in the games and example section? We accept the uploading and publication of GM games, Javascript Games, C#, C++ etc… but there's no way of sorting them out. It would be cool to have that function again. And possibly a "program" section that's for projects that are not games? Just a few thoughts. We have both games and programs in our games/examples database.
