## 1. jQuery
### Released: 2006.
- Description: jQuery revolutionized web development by simplifying the use of JavaScript, especially in the manipulation of DOM elements, events and animations. Its famous phrase “write less, do more” summed up its proposal to make code leaner and more efficient.
- Impact: It became one of the most widely used JavaScript libraries for years, being practically ubiquitous on websites that needed interactivity.
## 2. Prototype.js
### Release: Early 2000s.
- Description: A JavaScript library that helped introduce more sophisticated programming concepts, such as AJAX and methods for manipulating objects and collections. It was widely used by frameworks such as Ruby on Rails.
- Impact: Simplified object-oriented programming in JavaScript and inspired the emergence of other libraries.
## 3. MooTools
### Released: 2006.
- Description: A lightweight JavaScript library that offered functionality to create visual effects and dynamic scripts more consistently across different browsers.
- Impact: Gained popularity for its modular approach and clear syntax, helping developers avoid inconsistencies between browsers.
## 4. Ruby on Rails (Rails)
### Released: 2004.
- Description: A Ruby web development framework that popularized the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern and emphasized convention over configuration.
- Impact: It became one of the most beloved frameworks of the time for allowing fast and efficient development of web applications. It was a pioneer in introducing concepts such as scaffolding and RESTful architecture.
## 5. ASP.NET
### Released: 2002.
- Description: A Microsoft framework for developing dynamic web applications. Based on the .NET Framework, ASP.NET has been widely adopted in corporate applications.
- Impact: Allowed developers using C# and VB.NET to create dynamic websites in a more structured and scalable way.
## 6. PHP Frameworks (CodeIgniter, CakePHP)
- Launched: CodeIgniter in 2006, CakePHP in 2005.
- Description: These PHP frameworks simplified web application development by introducing the MVC pattern and providing tools for routing, validation and database access.
- Impact: They popularized good PHP development practices and made it easier and faster to develop complex projects.
## 7. DHTML (Dynamic HTML)
- Description: Although not a framework or library as such, DHTML was a concept that gained momentum in the early 2000s. It involved the combined use of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and DOM to create interactive pages without reloading the page.
- Impact: Enabling basic interactivity features before libraries such as jQuery became popular.
## 8. AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
- Release: Popularized in mid-2004-2005.
- Description: It's not a framework, but a technique that allows parts of a web page to be updated without reloading it. Applications such as Gmail and Google Maps pioneered its use.
- Impact: Changed the way web applications were developed, making them more interactive and responsive.
## 9. Ext JS (Sencha)
### Released: 2007.
- Description: A JavaScript framework designed to create complex, feature-rich user interfaces.
- Impact: Widely used in corporate applications to create robust dashboards and administrative interfaces.
## 10. Flash (Adobe Flash)
- Description: Although not a framework, Flash Player was an essential platform for creating animations, games and interactive multimedia content on the web during the 2000s.
- Impact: It played a central role in making the web more visual and interactive, although over time it has been replaced by more modern technologies such as HTML5.
I'm still using AJAX in some of my applications, which ones do you still use?
