Description: AJaX (Asynchronous Java and XML) has emerged as an innovative new platform for building web applications with extensive client-side interactivity. Unlike older approaches, which require reloading of the entire page with every postback, AJaX allows the development of web applications with desktop-style feel and responsiveness. It uses the JavaScript DOM, XMLHttpRequest object, and CSS to download and display just the content that needs to change. Topics include AJaX Basics, JavaScript effects, CSS styling, AJaX design patterns, and server-side scripting with PHP.
