Ajax Overhaul: Retrofit existing sites with Ajax and jQuery
I've written a series of articles for IBM developerWorks called Ajax Overhaul. The series examines ways in which old-school webapps can solve their user-experience and usability challenges using Ajax. Each installment looks at the before and after versions of a sample shopping site called Customize Me Now. Included below are each of the pre- and post-Ajax iterations of this application.
