ajax is a group of inter-related web development techniques used for creating interactive web applications. A primary characteristic is the increased responsiveness of web pages achieved by exchanging small amounts of data with the server "behind the scenes" so that entire web pages do not have to be reloaded each time there is a need to fetch data from the server. This is intended to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, functionality and usability. Ajax, somewhat of a misnomer, has gone on to describe the very basis of "web2.0" wher eone is able to build browser based web applications that resemble desktop applications. Soltech has leveraged AJAX in a number of web facing applications that we have built for clients.
Five years ago, if you didn't know XML, you were the ugly duckling whom nobody talked to. Eighteen months ago, Ruby came into the limelight and programmers who didn't know what was going on with Ruby weren't welcome at the water cooler. Today, if you want to get into the latest technology rage, Ajax is where it's at. However, Ajax is far more than just a fad; it's a powerful approach to building Web sites and it's not nearly as hard to learn as an entire new language. Ajax is not for everyone or everything, and it has up and downside, but I think overall there are some things that ajax can help you do that could nto be done before..... to me, the DHTML side of things allows me to make browser based applications look and behave like desktop applications, and the AJAX part allows me to all but eliminate screen transitions.
