I feel the need to prime the pump, so to speak, after a dearth of postings over the last month or so. Here are a few links I’ve found interesting recently:
Web Services + JSON = Dump Your Proxy
This one is old (circa 2005), but I’ve found few links as useful on implementing a basic mashup using pure Javascript in an effort to avoid a server-side proxy (be it PHP, ASP, Ruby, or what not).
JSON and the Dynamic Script Tag
More details on implementing a web service request cross-domain using dynamic script tag generation. Another interesting blast from 2005.
Dynamic Script Request API
Another from the same era and in a similar vein, this concept uses a pure JS approach to retrieving information cross-domain without using a server-side proxy. The interesting thing here is how it breaks up large requests and, I believe, attempts to handle timeouts.
JSONRequest
Crockford’s effort to build an alternative to XMLHttpRequest that is not bound by that method’s single-domain security limitations.
Vitamin: Serving Javascript Fast
Some smart techniques for serving up your client-side scripts.
Apple Profiles the Washington Post
A look at how old media is becoming (and in some cases leapfrogging) so-called new media.
Arcade Fire
Because I can’t stop listening to this band lately.

Dude, Arcade Fire is so serious. AntiChrist Television Blues is so good. I’d rather listen to arcade fire than think about server-side proxy and stuff
