Wave Maker 4.0 is a nice visual ajax devlopment enviornment comparable to visual studio for its drag-and-drop easy interface, and javascript framework (which includes dojo, spring, and a few others). It also allows for web services and database interactions, all without needing much code. It is very easy and quick to use for building "web 2.0", or rather "new century", web applications.

Naming your web files is not normally considered to be particularly important. Developers rarely spend much time deliberating file and folder names unless they are implementing a REST API or adding keywords that an SEO expert insists will help their marketing effort.
However, the folder and file names you choose for your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and graphic files can have a catastrophic effect. As an example, this is how the eBay UK home page looks on my browser today:
As a developer, there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop advert blocking software. The majority of blockers use regular expression rules to check domain names, file names, or HTML code. The reason eBay looks so bad is because several of the core CSS files are being blocked; they do not contain adverts, but their filenames inadvertently trigger Adblock’s rules.
Browser sniffing is the act of detecting the web browser a visitor is using in order to serve version-specific pages, scripts, images, or other content. The technique was popular around 10 years ago because Microsoft and Netscape introduced their own technologies and web standards were in their infancy. In those dark days, it was fairly common to write two or more client-side scripts to implement identical functionality in different browsers.
Fortunately, the web has progressed. There is rarely a need to fork code for different devices, but Opera’s recent experience with version 10 indicates that browser sniffing remains a commonplace technique.
Technically, browser sniffing appears to be relatively straightforward. You obtain a user agent string using navigator.userAgent in JavaScript or the HTTP_USER_AGENT environment variable on the server and parse it accordingly. However, do not be complacent; browser sniffing should not be used!
