This may be heresy on this list, but I'll ask it anyway. A general point for discussion which I'm raising because the Lift Book mentions AJAX early on in the PocketChange app.
How important is AJAX and all the associated Web 2.0 stuff to you and to your projects? I'm quite happy without Javascript and AJAX. More often than not they're doing the kind of thing you could just as easily do with traditional technologies. Save for one web-app (Google Mail), I don't think a single site I use has been improved for it. Particular examples are Slashdot and Facebook. Give me good old HTML any day. I've got a few projects in the pipeline and I intend to use Lift for all of them, it looks excellent and from the source I've read very nicely engineered. But I will expressly avoid using anything other than old-fashioned HTML as much as I can, largely because I'm targetting browsers of unknown vintage in less economically developed countries and I'd like to be able to use my own site without cookies or javascript if I want to. Have I missed the point of Lift entirely? Am I in a small minority? Am I crazy?
