72. Tim Berners-Lee
The Mobile Web Initiative
is important - information
must be made seamlessly
available on any device.
I have always imagined the information space as something to
which everyone has immediate and intuitive access, and not just
to browse, but to create. [...] Furthermore, the dream of people-to-
people communication through shared knowledge must be
possible for groups of all sizes, interacting electronically with as
much ease as they do now in person.

129. Classic Web Application
Model
129
Normally, user actions would generate an HTTP request

130. AJAX Web Application
Model
130
with AJAX these requests are JavaScript calls to the AJAX engine. Many users actions don't require communication with the server and can be handled by the
engine. If the server is needed, the engine makes the request asynchronously using XML, with no interruption of the user-application interaction.
