AJAX
AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
AJAX is not a new programming language, but a new way to use existing standards.
AJAX is about exchanging data with a server, and update parts of a web page - without reloading the whole page.
Examples of applications using AJAX: Google Maps, Gmail, Youtube, and Facebook tabs.

Web Building
In this tutorial we have created dynamic web pages by using scripts on the client (in the browser).
Web pages can also be made more dynamic by using scripts on the server.
With server-side scripting you can edit, add, or change any web page content. You can respond to data submitted from HTML forms, access data or databases and return the results to a browser, and customize pages for individual users.
