July 31st, 2006

June 13th, 2006
A lot of clients have been requesting edit in place editing for their Web 2.0 applications. It’s a simple but very useful feature.

Most people that are doing installations like this already have a pretty good idea on what they are doing, but well written documentation to use as a guide never hurt.
