AJAX to the Rescue

The Web was originally used to share static pages of information. Over just a few years, it evolved into a far more dynamic medium. Today, the Web is made up of extremely interactive pages; however, it still relies heavily on a paradigm that is based on full-page transitions. The more the user interacts with a page, the more frequently pages must be created and served back to the user's browser. There are many negative consequences that result from serving interactive pages in this manner, such as slow page refreshes and flickering. It's an inelegant solution that frequently leads to a poor user experience. AJAX brings about a much-desired shift in this paradigm that allows for cleaner Web applications and it lays the groundwork for a new generation of applications. AJAX is really about the end user. With AJAX features, a Web application is much more interactive, more responsive. It's faster and friendlier. The user is encouraged to do more with the page as interaction and responses (and feedback in case of slow operations) are all handled more elegantly. Overall, the user has a much better experience.
