A Brief History of Dynamic Web Content

After spending days coding a site and sending a draft over to the client, the response back is almost immediate. They want the data tables to be sortable by the column headings. This needs to be done dynamically, of course. And the Twitter widget needs to live update any time they send out a new tweet. Thankfully, the ability to do this has become relatively easy and commonplace. To the point that, these days, I start any project with the assumption that some of the content needs to be dynamic and plan for it from the outset.
