Making a server round-trip to update your UI in real time in response to a mouse event is, at best, inefficient.  This sort of thing should be done client-side (read: in _javascript_) unless you have a special security concern or an algorithm that can only realistically be performed on the server.

Thank you Samuel, that's very interesting.  On something like editing a pages document or a spreadsheet - do you think the browser sends every change to the server where the document's "state" is maintained?  Or do you think it builds the document locally and periodically sends the changes to the server?  I haven't tried it yet - do you know if you can work with the iCloud versions of iWork offline?

As a side note (OK complete tangent) I've been thinking a lot about Project Wonder's Ajax framework and your comment kind of reminds me about an idea I had for creating an ajax element component.  The ajax element would work like the ajax slider where every change (even keystroke) sends a async request to the server to update the bound object with the new value.  Then the ajax element could broadcast a custom event to the other objects in the browser that it's value has changed.  Other ajax elements like ajax update containers could subscribe for that event and when they receive it initiate their own request to the server to see if their value has changed.  This way Wonder could imitate the bidirectional communication that you see in other frameworks i.e. http://montagejs.org/docs/data-binding.html

Sorry to go off on a tangent like that but it's been what I've been thinking about this weekend and I haven't had anybody to discuss it with ;)

Best,

Johnny

For such a large scale and very specialized deployment they probably have something very optimized for fast response with async server side processing of the validation and save to persistent storage. This way, you can batch many small transactions into a single IO intensive process. Almost every keystrokes create a request like google apps.
