Author: Trevor Page: Java Guru | Programmer | Teacher November 7, 2013 Duration: 32:15

AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) is a techonology used to create Rich Internet Applications (RIA).  

If you're asking "what the heck does that mean!?"  You're in the right place

In this podcast episode we will talk about the uses for AJAX and how it can lead to a much nicer web browsing experience for your Java web applications.

What else will you learn about in this episode?

  • The difference between an HttpRequest and an XMLHttpRequest
  • Why it's annoying when your website has to refresh every time you submit a form
  • The workflow behind how websites like Google Finance or live sports scores work
  • What JavaScript frameworks make dealing with AJAX easier
  • Why AJAX isn't really AJAX anymore (it's more like AJAJ, but that doesn't roll off the tongue!)
