Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications

The buzz that has been swarming the Internet is the term Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML). To my surprise, many developers still are not sure what this Ajax thing is. Hopefully I can educate those Ranchers that are still in the dark about this hot topic in the world of programming. Why is this Ajax thing so hot? Well the magic of it all is it spans every server side language out there. A PHP developer, a Java developer, and a .NET developer can all use this! This Ajax technology is not server side language specific so that is why there is great "hype." I can personally say that Ajax is not just hype. Judging by the responses I have gotten from here on the JavaRanch or out on my talks promoting Ajax in Action, it looks like Ajax is not going away, as some old timer programmers are wishing! I use it in production, and it's part of many applications that you may use on a daily basis.
This article is going to take a low level look at Ajax and see how it can help you and when you would want to use this in your application. This article is not going to give you the money to buy that brand new Testarossa, but it will give you the itching to get the keys for a test drive instead of staring at that wallpaper on your desktop. So let's stop this intro and get into the real article.
