This article guides you through the AJAX basics and gives you two simple hands-on examples to get you started.

Ajax, which consists of HTML, JavaScript™ technology, DHTML, and DOM, is an outstanding approach that helps you transform clunky Web interfaces into interactive Ajax applications. This article demonstrates how these technologies work together -- from an overview to a detailed look -- to make extremely efficient Web development an easy reality. He also unveils the central concepts of Ajax, including the XMLHttpRequest object

This article introduces a groundbreaking approach to creating dynamic Web application experiences. Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a programming technique that lets you combine Java technologies, XML, and JavaScript for Java-based Web applications that break the page-reload paradigm

An introduction to the basics of JavaScript.

The amount of JavaScript code written by developers is continuously increasing, so is increasing it's impact on the overall quality of web applications. How can one quickly convert casual software development to professional software engineering? There may not be one simple answer here, but if your current JavaScript project is in trouble or if you are about to start a new one - this article is for you.

Quick page loading and snappiness of a web site of a key factor to retaining visitors. Visitors do not like to wait! If you make visitors wait, they will go elsewhere. With raise of AJAX web applications it is quite tricky to make pages load fast. Many AJAX like application have to do lots of XML parsing and string manipulation to create the page in the browser. If not done carefully this can create an impression of web site being slow, even if server is lightning fast.

This example will give you an idea about how you can implement simple AJAX interaction in your web application.

One of the classic drawbacks to building a web application interface is that once a page has been downloaded to the client, the connection to the server is severed. Any attempt at a dynamic interface involves a full roundtrip of the whole page back to the server for a rebuild--a process which tends to make your web app feel inelegant and unresponsive. In this article, I'll be exploring how this problem can be tackled with the use of JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object.

You've heard of it. It is the latest buzz term for web programmers these days. AJAX is an acronym that stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. AJAX gains its popularity by allowing data on a page to be dynamically updated without having to make the browser reload the page. I will describe more about how AJAX works, and then go into some sample code to try out.

You might have been in a situation before where you had a list of items in your database that needed to be output in a specific order. These items could be anything: perhaps a listing of your favourite movies or your favourite books. For whatever reason, you want them ordered in a custom way that can’t be determined automatically (such as alphabetical). This article covers the implementation of a system that lets you easily define the order of such a list.
