:( A sad story,
From today on there would be no official releases of Mozilla Application Suite (a.k.a Mozilla SeaMonkey)
Mozilla would be concentrating their efforts towards Firefox and Thunderbird

Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures

By - Dr. Roy Thomas Fielding

The World Wide Web has succeeded in large part because its software architecture has been designed to meet the needs of an Internet-scale distributed hypermedia system. The Web has been iteratively developed over the past ten years through a series of modifications to the standards that define its architecture. In order to identify those aspects of the Web that needed improvement and avoid undesirable modifications, a model for the modern Web architecture was needed to guide its design, definition, and deployment.

Software architecture research investigates methods for determining how best to partition a system, how components identify and communicate with each other, how information is communicated, how elements of a system can evolve independently, and how all of the above can be described using formal and informal notations. My work is motivated by the desire to understand and evaluate the architectural design of network-based application software through principled use of architectural constraints, thereby obtaining the functional, performance, and social properties desired of an architecture. An architectural style is a named, coordinated set of architectural constraints.

This dissertation defines a framework for understanding software architecture via architectural styles and demonstrates how styles can be used to guide the architectural design of network-based application software. A survey of architectural styles for network-based applications is used to classify styles according to the architectural properties they induce on an architecture for distributed hypermedia. I then introduce the Representational State Transfer (REST) architectural style and describe how REST has been used to guide the design and development of the architecture for the modern Web.

REST emphasizes scalability of component interactions, generality of interfaces, independent deployment of components, and intermediary components to reduce interaction latency, enforce security, and encapsulate legacy systems. I describe the software engineering principles guiding REST and the interaction constraints chosen to retain those principles, contrasting them to the constraints of other architectural styles. Finally, I describe the lessons learned from applying REST to the design of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol and Uniform Resource Identifier standards, and from their subsequent deployment in Web client and server software.

The term "Ajax" is coined where XMLHTTPRequest, Javascript, CSS

I've been linking many XMLHttpRequest posts. But here is one that could be really ... really useful. Its a sourceforge project, that uses php to make Javascript code to use the XMLHttpRequest.
Check out these xamples

dltypeof - Custom JS typeof operator - DHTML Lab - WebReference.com
Javascript Guys must have used the native function typeof(), But U guys must have as well been frustrated when it returns a dumb "object" When you thought it would have returned "date" , "array" or so on.

Well here comes the dltypeof() which is not pre-build into JS... :( But thanks to WebReference DHTML article that I was going through, It helps you return a little more required datatypes "the one that you expected"

Mozilla / Firefox minimization Bug / Feature

Mozilla, Firefox when minimized and opened after a 20/30 mins take a huge CPU suddendly becuase they start to use the memory which they had given up.
To bring back all the tabs and paint the pages, they use this memory,
To stop this from happening...
In the address bar about:config
then
add a new boolean key by right clicking on the list
add the new key as
config.trim_on_minimize and set it to false
Now you can check that Mozilla / Firefox does not give away the memory on minimizing by opening Task Manager and then minimising Mozilla

Using the XML HTTP Request object: "Internet Explorer on Windows, Safari on Mac OS-X and Mozilla on all platforms provide a method for client side javascript to make HTTP requests, Opera 7.6preview 1 also now features the object. This allows you to make HEAD requests to see when a resource was last modified, or to see if it even exists. It makes your scripting options more flexible allowing for POST requests without having the page change, and opens up the possibility of using PUT, DELETE etc. These methods are increasingly used to provide richer Web Applications like G-Mail that use lower bandwidth and offer snappier user response."
