The Complete List of Ajax Tools

Ajax has really taken off over the last two years.  Ajax is really just the combination of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.  I actually remember almost over 5 years ago now working with XML and JavaScript to auto-magically update navigation bars from the database.  With the advancement of Ajax, new frameworks, utilities, and software packages have been built to make the production of Ajax web sites much easier.  Below is the complete list of these tools, and the only list you will ever need!  Please feel free to submit more sites in the comments below as they will be added!

There you can purchase ad space for your Blog etc.

Corrections:

Django & Turbgears are Python Frameworks not PHP.

Same with CherryPy, its pythonic and I am not sure if it would even classify as an AJAX Framework, more of a HTTP object oriented framework :)
