Feature By Thomas Powell, Network World, 07/17/06
If you've used Google Maps, Gmail or Microsoft's Outlook Web Access, you're familiar with the power of AJAX, which gives Web applications the responsiveness that users associate with desktop applications.
Fundamentally, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) enables back-channel communication in Web applications so that only small portions of Web pages need to be updated in response to user activity.

Plus, if done right, an AJAX-style applications can reduce both bandwidth and server requirements.
