Computer users appreciate that their favorite websites are now friendlier and feel more responsive. Web developers learn new skills that empower them to create sleek web applications with little effort. Indeed, everything sounds good about AJAX! At its roots, AJAX is a mix of technologies that let you get rid of the evil page reload, which represents the dead time when navigating from one page to another. While this may be regarded as a minor feature, the elimination of page reloads opened the way for implementing more complex features into websites, such as real-time, server-supported data validation, drag and drop, and other tasks that were traditionally associated only with desktop applications. The central technology in the AJAX mix is JavaScript, which has been key to the success of AJAX: JavaScript is a lightweight language, it's loaded quickly by the web browser, and it's supported by all modern web browsers. No additional plug-ins or tools are required from the user to load an AJAX web application.
