In den letzen Jahren entwickelte sich das World Wide Web (WWW) stetig weiter. Jüngst geprägte Begriffe, wie Web 2.0 und AJAX, haben sich in der Welt der modernen Webentwicklung etabliert und werden von interessierten Webentwicklern und Webbenutzern mit Begeisterung aufgenommen. Das erhöhte Interesse, welches AJAX aktuell genießt, ist auf visuell attraktive und hochinteraktive Web-Applikationen zurückzuführen, die in ihrem Verhalten Desktop-Anwendungen ähneln. Doch was genau steckt hinter diesem neuen Schlagwort? Dieser Frage wird in diesem Buch nachgegangen. Dabei wird auf einfache und nachvollvollziehbare Weise untersucht, ob es sich tatsächlich um eine neuartige und revolutionäre’ Webtechnologie handelt, oder ob AJAX vielmehr ein Produkt bereits bestehender und bekannter Technologien darstellt, welches bloß unter einer neuen Bezeichnung eingeführt wurde. Ferner sind die Motive für das aktuelle Interesse an AJAX ausführlich dargestellt.
