Already, AJAX has become super popular.

Ways of defining your own HTML/Javascript components (web page widgets) are coming along more slowly.

Dojo is a Javascript library that makes creating reusable, DHTML-aware components a lot easier to do. Its makers just streamlined the process of creating Dojo widgets way simpler than it used to be.

Brian McCallister:

There are quite a few good bare-bones introductions to Dojo widgets out there, but not a lot beyond the Hello World stuff. Here is a bit, as I find it and figure some of it out...

The recent 0.3 release added an amazingly convenient method for creating new widgets, dojo.widget.defineWidget, which I'll use for al my widget making -- it is just that much nicer =)
