WebShell: An Ajax App for Admins
by John Biggs on June 29, 2007

Now this is an interesting little bugger. It’s an SSH application for the iPhone written in Ajax and available for download onto your favorite servers. Back when I used to be a sysadmin I always looked for SSH implementations for my portable devices. Not having one was usually a dealbreaker. I wouldn’t call this an ideal solution — it could be rife with insecurity — but it’s the coolest iPhone app I’ve seen in a while.

  • Hey dude, you can’t write something in AJAX, its a god damn technology concept not a programming language. The proper sentence should be “it was written in javascript using one of many available AJAX based frameworks”. Its people like you who start this misinformation business, i.e. a Computer is now known as either a CPU or a Hard Drive. Now people will think AJAX is something you use to build web applications for iPHONE.

  • Settle down Johnny! I see your point, and you are of course correct, but cussing someone for a slip-up is not nearly as effective as politely correcting them so that they can actually take something away from your comment OTHER than the fact that you are an obviously omniscient douche.

  • Doesn’t AJAX mean: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML… therefore, it would be a bit redundant to say it was written in javascript using AJAX. Sort of like Windows 2000 saying it uses NT technology (or new technology technology)

  • Who cares if the general public doesn’t know that ajax isn’t a programming language?? As if it really matter for world peace or something… Shesh!
