Ajax...

Ajax...
All around we hear it.
It has been around for years, but just now, it has gotten mature enough to use it widely and wisely.
So what is so great in using javascript, XML and DHTML that is so exciting?
Not suprisingly, it is NOT the technoly itself. It is the user experience that can be upgraded by using this technolgy.
User experience is everything in the web.
Some years ago, people didn't want to wait more than 5 (or 8 or 10.. who counts?) seconds for a web page to load.
Today, not only we don't want to wait, we want it all in the same page. We want to see what we choose. Not only that, but also we want to control the information and publish our insights, thoughts, excitements, photos. We want it to be easily navigated, easily used and easily viewed.
Ajax makes it happen.

Well, Ajax is not new, but the understanding of what you could do with it is quite new.
