How did it FEEL the first time you loaded an AJAX page just right?
The memory still makes me quiver all over. Which is exactly what my monitor screen seemed to do. It was kinday "gooey". But, not gooey in the degraded sense, but gooey in the swiss bearings sense.
The trickiest thing for me, personally, about AJAX, is securing your applications. Clients now have all your functions documented in one easy to get location - unless you take care to handshake / send hashes / keys with every transaction.
Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a Web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change. This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability. The first known use of the term in public was by Jesse James Garrett in his February 2005 article Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications. At subsequent talks and seminars Jesse James has made the point that Ajax is not an acronym.
The Ajax technique uses a combination of:
XHTML (or HTML), CSS, for marking up and styling information.
The DOM accessed with a client-side scripting language, especially ECMAScript implementations such as JavaScript and JScript, to dynamically display and interact with the information presented.
The XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data asynchronously with the web server. In some Ajax frameworks and in certain situations, an IFrame object is used instead of the XMLHttpRequest object to exchange data with the web server.
XML is sometimes used as the format for transferring data between the server and client, although any format will work, including preformatted HTML, plain text, JSON and even EBML.
Like DHTML, LAMP, or SPA, Ajax is not a technology in itself, but a term that refers to the use of a group of technologies together.

I make money with the web, no need for Ajax
Time consuming, same shit as Flash which i spent numerous hours (and money) on to do NOTHING WITH IT.
I read everywhere on boards
1) Avoid flash as some surfers don't have it install
2) Avoid Flash for search engines
blahblahblahblahblah now why the fuck Flash then ??????????
Been using ajax in alot of stuff for some client code. It makes life easier/faster with some validation systems. no need to post to another page do 99% validation on one page.
