# AJAX stands for Asynchronous Javascript And XML. It is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications.

# It is all about updating parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page.

# AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use existing standards.

# Before you continue you should have a basic of HTML / XHTML, CSS and JavaScript/DOM.

# AJAX allows web pages to be updated asynchronously by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes. This means that it is possible to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page.

# Google Maps, Gmail, orkut, Youtube, and Facebook are the excellent examples of applications implementing AJAX.
