Prerequisites


Basic knowledge of:
 
  • HTML
 
  • JavaScript 
 

A. What's AJAX?

 
  • What if you wanted to update parts of a webpage in the background (without even reloading it)?
 
  • What if you wanted to receive data from a server once a webpage has loaded?
 

Well, you knocked at the right door, AJAX. Asynchronous JavaScript and XML - it seems complex right now yet learning it will be a piece of cake. :)

Quick tip: Unlike what abbreviation of AJAX implies, you need not understand the XML language to utilize AJAX. 

Recap: AJAX = update parts of a web page in the background.
