SOAP, AJAX. You could almost guess what’s next. That’s right.
HTTP Streaming.
AJAX makes it super easy to call server functions from the browser and have a callback received asynchronously, leading to very responsive, polished web applications.
Now Comet lets things go the other direction. Server to browser, through inline script tags in conjunction with AJAX.
Apparently Web 2.0 is all about cleaning things up.
