Robert and I have recently set some development goals to learn new web technologies. First on the list, AJAX. What’s that you ask? It stands for “asynchronous JavaScript and XML.” You’ve probably seen it used on Google Maps and a few other sites.

AJAX basically lets you load data or new page results without refreshing the page (i.e. what takes place when the screen flashes to load new content. You can also incorporate graphics and motion, hence it’s a great replacement for that sticky and sometimes annoying flash you see.

Robert is already off to a great start, so we look forward to including this useful technology on our upcoming projects.
