- Accessibility does not prevent you from using JavaScript or Flash
- by Roger Johansson. 456 Berea St, May 31, 2010. "A common misconception is that in order to make a website accessible you have to abstain from using JavaScript or Flash. Almost every time I hold a workshop on Web standards and accessibility there is at least one participant who believes that accessibility limits what they can do on the Web by telling them to stay away from anything that isn't pure HTML..."

- JavaScript - the Web site performance killer, Google guru says
- The scripting language is one of several culprits that slow Web site loading, by Eric Lai. Computerworld, 14 May, 2009. "... Only 10% to 20% of the time it took to load a Web site could be attributed to the Web server. The vast majority was the result of code executing inside the Web browser, said Souders at a talk on Tuesday at Microsoft Corp.'s Tech Ed conference in Los Angeles. In today's Ajax-heavy Web sites, the offending code is usually JavaScript, Souders said. That's not because JavaScript files on a Web page are large, they aren't, he said, but because of the way Web browsers treat JavaScript..."

- Stop using Ajax!
- By brothercake. Dev.Opera, 24 April 2008. "... Ajax is a sound and useful idea. But every idea comes down to a practical implementation - a technology that makes it happen - and in this case the technology is immature, because it leaves groups of users behind. Most notable and greatly affected are those using assistive technologies, but also those using less capable browsers that don't support the necessary scripting objects, or don't support scripting at all..."

- Creating Responsive GUIs with Real-Time Validation
- By Michael Morrison. Webreference.com, July 10, 2007. "This chapter is excerpted from the book titled, Ajax Construction Kit: Building Plug-and-Play Ajax Applications, authored by Michael Morrison, published by Prentice Hall, © 2007 Pearson Education, Prentice Hall PTR. All rights reserved... One of the truly killer applications of Ajax is real-time user input validation, which means that data entered by the user is checked for validity as the user enters it. This can dramatically improve the efficiency of user interfaces because errors are caught as they are made, thus eliminating the need to submit an entire form to find out whether a problem exists..."
