Much has been debated, but Ajax is looking on the up, I think it somehow has stiffle the movement for Flex 2.0, but Flex 2.0 is still promisng much, and thankfully I came across it on Lynda training, looks really cool with great presentation and IDE. i pretty much looking forward to writing a dashboard based on flex technology for our CMS. I can see the new year in 4 directions, and only 2 will be achieve: Flex, Ajax, Ruby On Rails, ASP.net. What will us be adopting. Ruby On rails looks like a tough choice at the moment
