AJAX

AJAX = "asynchronous javascript and xml"

  • 'asynchronous' means the client can send requests to the server whenever it needs more data.
  • 'javascript' means the client runs in any recent browser
  • 'and' is a conjunction
  • 'xml' is the communications protocol

The portal site for AJAX information: http://ajaxian.com/

AFLAX

http://aflax.org/

AFLAX is like AJAX but uses FlashPlayer on the client.

From what I read on the AFLAX site I don't need to use any proprietary development tools.

Some cogent comments from an oreillynet blogger, especially from the peanut gallery, pros and cons. Note these comment refer to FlashPlayer 7...
