I do a bit of this and a bit of that... Sometimes it's backend db stuff, sometimes it's ajax, sometimes it's what I guess could be classed as a "mashup", and other times I just write tools for people to save them time with repetetive tasks (from standalone apps to Excel macros)...
I wonder which category they'd put me in...

Really, whenever people say ajax, I read Javascript. They're used so interchangeably that Ajax has really just come to mean "aggressive javascript", or "javascript application".
I mean really, how can people get so worked up about what is basically just a languages file I/O? Especially when there's really nothing ajax can do that an iframe can't do simpler ;)

Heh -- I use DWR for what I call "Ajax" (as as it's written for me, it's simpler by miles) ;-)
