Among other things, Ajax is a cleaner, a town near Toronto and a soccer team and now, Ajax is the new acronym coined by Adaptive Path to describe a rich web interface combining XHTML, CSS, DOM, XMLHttpRequest and JavaScript.

Ajax is a concept who’s time has finally come to the mainstream. We now
have browsers which support enough of the web standards to be able to
support richer web interfaces.

Marc Logemann argues
that rich web applications would be better architected as client side
applications in Swing or C#. I think the use of client side
applications has slowed as we shift intelligence and CPU cycles
outward. Not every application is suited to live on the server side but
building richer interfaces to web sites or web applications fills in
the middle ground between client side and server side.

Round trip delays have always prevented web applications from rivaling
client side applications. The ease of an instant on always updated
application is the appeal in using a web application. By leveraging
Ajax concepts we can provide the user with a much more responsive
experience.
