Discussion

AJAX is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. If you know JavaScript,
HTML, CSS, and XML, then you need to spend just one hour to start with AJAX.

Why to Learn Ajax?

AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX is a new technique for creating better, faster,
and more interactive web applications with the help of XML, HTML, CSS, and Java Script.

Ajax uses XHTML for content, CSS for presentation, along with Document Object Model and
JavaScript for dynamic content display.

Conventional web applications transmit information to and from the sever using synchronous
requests. It means you fill out a form, hit submit, and get directed to a new page with new
information from the server.
With AJAX, when you hit submit, JavaScript will make a request to the server, interpret the
results, and update the current screen. In the purest sense, the user would never know that
anything was even transmitted to the server.

XML is commonly used as the format for receiving server data, although any format, including
plain text, can be used.

AJAX is a web browser technology independent of web server software.

A user can continue to use the application while the client program requests information from the
server in the background.

Intuitive and natural user interaction. Clicking is not required, mouse movement is a sufficient
event trigger.

Data-driven as opposed to page-driven.

Rich Internet Application Technology

AJAX is the most viable Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology so far. It is getting tremendous industry
momentum and several tool kit and frameworks are emerging. But at the same time, AJAX has browser
incompatibility and it is supported by JavaScript, which is hard to maintain and debug.

AJAX is Based on Open Standards

AJAX is based on the following open standards −


Browser-based presentation using HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Data is stored in XML format and fetched from the server.
Behind-the-scenes data fetches using XMLHttpRequest objects in the browser.
JavaScript to make everything happen.

Audience

well as improve their speed and usability using AJAX.
