In a presentation to game develpoers recently, Google showed off the Chrome Web Store, a marketplace for HTML5 apps Google announced during its I/O conference earlier this year.

Chrome Web Store is going to be the basic app market for upcoming Chrome OS and Google TV.  To bring developers in its eco-system, Google won't be taking any cut of revenues generated; in fact, it will only be taking a "processing fee" of around 5%.

 

Do you think could be a major draw for developers to develop HTML5 Apps for Chrome Web Store?

 

The benefits of using JavaScript and Ajax in the social networking sites are discussed here. Searching for email addresses is a chore that can easily made much simpler with a splash of Ajax. A function called "TextboxList" meets Autocompletion is one such example of an auto-complete script that takes a Facebook-esque approach to autocompletion. Another is Ajax IM, which is embedded on the website rather than the desktop and is highly interactive. Another function is Live validation. One way to ease the pain of web forms is to add Ajax validation that tells the user instantly when has made a mistake. qGallery - it is an excellent example of using Ajax to request photos and media. Most of the social networking sites has a option called poll or rating. Ajax has a feature called Ajax Star Rating which helps the users to give rating in a more interactive way. JCrop is another feature which facilitates photo editing online. It crops the images that have been uploaded using a powerful Ajax cropping engine. Drastic Map- it is a stellar Javascript/Ajax script that allows you to map coordinates stored in a MySQL database on top of a Google map. It’s highly flexible and configurable, and the possibilities are endless in the ways that it can be used. Google maps which is so popular today uses this feature.
