[Zimbra's](http://www.zimbra.com/) message and collaboration clients represent some of the latest innovations in Ajax web applications, so when they talk about Ajax development on [their blog](http://www.zimbra.com/blog/), it's worth reading. Here are some articles that caught my eye.

- [**Ajax innovation is also about the server!**](http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/2006/08/ajax_innovation.html) When talking about Ajax, many people focus on the client side (possibly because JavaScript is new turf to a lot of us) and forget about the server.

- [**OSCON AJAX Slides.**](http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/2006/07/oscon_ajax_slid.html) Kevin Henrikson's slides from his OSCON 2006 presentation, Ajax Optimization Techniques, in both PowerPoint and PDF formats.

- [**Ajax impact on server scaling.**](http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/2006/04/ajax_impact_on.html) Some thoughts on the architecture of Ajax as a “husky” client (between “thin” and “fat”, where the network boundary between client- and server-side code is defined by the application programmer).

- [**Securing Ajax.**](http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/2006/09/securing_ajax.html) Some security advantages and considerations for Ajax applications.

- [**Look Ma, No Mouse.**](http://www.zimbra.com/blog/archives/2006/09/look_ma_no_mous.html) In which they talk about how the Kabuki Ajax toolkit let them add keyboard shortcuts to the Zimbra Collaboration Suite.
