I like to start my reading on AJAX. Can someone provide an online website reference for this? If you suggest some books also it would help me to start my reading on AJAX.

For getting an initial deep understanding you could read the site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX
After which reading this site would help you gain a good knowledge
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX:Getting_Started

See the link below-

Hi all,

I am new to AJAX too!!What i have found is that AJAX is not a new technology,but a combination of 3-4 technologies which makes it powerful.One needs decent knowledge of javascript,xml,css and server side (scripting) language.

AJAX makes asynchronous request to the server to update the page,so the entire page is not refreshed,but only a part of it.This reduces the server response time(and network traffic too). The core thing is XMLHttpRequest object.The way it is instantiated depends on the browser.eg. In MSIE,ActiveX object is used.The XMLHttpRequest object is responsible for sending the request from the browser to the server,and receiving the response as well.

Finally,it is quite easy to learn the way AJAX works.Rest depends on the amount of effort you put.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
