AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML.
AJAX is a type of programming made popular in 2005 by Google (with Google Suggest).
AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use existing standards.
With AJAX you can create better, faster, and more user-friendly web applications.
AJAX is based on JavaScript and HTTP requests.
Why is it that when you type the email address of a person from your gmail account, it would automatically filter and show possible match of your request?
Why is it that when you type a keyword for the Yahoo! search engine, it would automatically suggests some relevant related data without even executing your request?
These questions would point towards the latest innovation in web programming - AJAX. I’m about to start my studies about AJAX. Wish me luck!
