Ajax in Content Management Systems

CMS-Watch has just published an article about the use of Ajax in Content Management Systems which I wrote along with Jonathan Downes.

Fundamentally, there are two dimensions to examining Ajax and your content management system:

  • Ajax in my CMS Interface
  • CMS support for creating Ajax-driven web sites

The article also talks about some of the challenges to web CMS systems:

Web CMS tools are notoriously poor at managing stylesheet elements and client-side scripting in particular. The rise of Ajax should prompt some improvements here.

To claim a big credit for writing it is a bit of a stretch because Jonathan did most of the actual writing.
