hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this and this is my first post.
I've recently been seeing a few new style of websites coming out written in AJAX and they function far better than I have ever been able to do in php and MySQL.

Does anyone know of any websites that specialise in teaching this technology or any good books out there?Confused

Thanks

Most AJAX applications are php and mysql based, and commands are available for php... The effects are more on the client side javascript, so the main program is fairly simple, but the fetch and send method is the new thing, together with javascript thats why its AJAX, but if you're talking ROR, then its totally different...

Hi Stephen,
Websites are not "written in AJAX". AJAX is simply the use of JavaScript to request additional data from the server so that a web page does not have to be completely refreshed in order to display fresh content. Now, that request may be for static data, or it may, as demonhale says, get data from a database or even update that database.

To use AJAX, you simply need to learn JavaScript. If you want to do something server side, like querying a database, then any server technology will do. Java, PHP, ColdFusion, Python, Perl ...

Cordially, David

Actually, David/webwiz, websites can be considered to be "written in AJAX". Because of the definition of AJAX, you could say that a site is built using AJAX and the PHP/MySQL combination...
