Ajax stands for “Asyncronous JavaScript And XML”. It combines three successful technologies - the JavaScript XMLHttpRequest object, HTML, XML and stylesheets (CSS) - and insufflates a new breath to web interfaces.
Applications using AJAX methods can send asynchronous requests to an HTTP server in order to exchange data.
"Rich clients" is another name for Web2.0, in which the interactivity with users is brought to the highest level. Sites that use the most of this technique are highly ergonomical, thus boosting interactivity and functionality. Users have rapid access to all information in a particularly efficient way.
This training will teach you how to use AJAX efficiently to achieve your goal. You will be able to recognize situations calling for this technique and become aware of related issues.
