// TODO: AJAX Library Reviews

I've been mulling over a series of posts on various AJAX libraries. Part of the reason they have not yet materialized is because it's so difficult to figure out what I think about each of them. One second I'll be disgusted with the way that a library has implemented something, and the next second I'll be raving about its awesome features on twitter or some other outlet. The fact is, every library is created with a specific goal in mind. Because of that, there are naturally going to be things that they each do well, and also things that they don't do well. Which brings me back to my original thought: a series of posts about the relative merits and demerits of various libraries. To be honest, I'm not sure if that specific series will ever appear. However, I will try to include some comparisons as I cover various ways of tackling problems in different libraries. I'm going to try something, which I'm not sure will work, but i'm going to try it anyway: whenever I consider a post to highlight a pro or a con of a particular library, I'll throw it in the 'Pros and Cons' category. That way it'll be easier to filter out those posts and find what you're looking for. Perhaps at various intervals, I'll pull together some of those posts, as well as some external posts and do a 'Review Collection' on a particular library.

So now I suppose you're ticked off that I forced you to read this lame post, and didn't give you anything to take away... Well, quiver with excitement, and keep checking back, because your 'take aways' will come.
