The best PHP and DB Conference of 2006 → php/db|works 2006 Session Schedule → php/db|works 2006 Session Synopsis Index → JavaScript Light & Sweet

Speaker: Josh Eichorn
Start time: Wednesday @ 14:45
Duration: 1 hour
Talk synopsis: There's a darkness in every developer's heart that struggles to get out and write frameworks. Consequently, there are frameworks out the wazoo for things like AJAX and Javascript written in PHP. Reinventing the wheel really isn't all that much fun, but the best framework turns out to be no framework at all.
The Prototype Javascript library, which is written in (and extends) the Javascript language itself, is really the way to go, and in this talk you'll learn why. Prototype makes it painless to add AJAX to any application, without making you work double-time to bolt it on or change your application's design paradigm. It even makes Javascript a little bit fun.
Hit points for this talk include:
* Embrace simplicity
* Why Prototype is Better
* How Make Typical AJAX Requests
* How to Add Prototype/AJAX Support to Your Existing Application
* How to Use Callbacks and Event Handlers
* How to Create Form, Field, and Event Observers (to initiate AJAX requests)

I fully agree with you on this, and would like to add that numerous frameworks out there are bloated to accomodate any possible situation. This is a lot of extra rendering time on the initial load of you application.
