Overview: For the last several years, there has been a quiet revolution taking place in Web development. In February 2005, the revolution acquired a name: Ajax, or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Learn how Ajax evolved in this sample chapter from Ajax: Creating Web Pages with Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Explore its history, underlying concepts and philosophy, associated challenges, as well as the power and flexibility Ajax offers developers who can now build Web applications with the sophistication and usability of traditional desktop applications using standards and open source software. Then, examine three simple examples of how Ajax can be implemented.
