Lots of folks are turning on to this
Ajax thing (I can't keep capitalizing it, just looks like I'm shouting). From online word processing to online PIM's, there's a
little bit of
everything out there using the technology. But I've yet to see such a succint and to-the-point description of the how to use Ajax as "
Rasmus' 30 second AJAX tutorial." It will take you longer than 30 seconds to absorb it (I had to read it several times, but I'm a moron). What's nice is that he dispells the common misbelief that you need all these pre-built libraries to accomplish anything with Ajax. Instead, it's easy to start with a basic, classic "foo bar" example, and start building from there. As always, you'll need to understand
XML to start doing the really amazing things.
