Technology: AJAX

Ajax, sometimes written as AJAX (shorthand for asynchronouss JavaScript and XML), is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications or rich Internet applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. The use of Ajax has led to an increase in interactive or dynamic interfaces on web pages and better quality of Web services due to the asynchronous mode. The term Ajax was coined as shorthand for - Asynchronous JavaScript and XML by a man named Jesse James Garrett.
