That's all there is to it. Everything else is just building on top of

Am I right???
No, Ajax isn't
rocket science. The technology (JavaScript objects for making HTTP requests) has been around since IE5. It's just that with more and more browsers supporting these facilities (you're not shrinking your potential user base to just IE users) and with the rise of readily available frameworks (you don't have to be a JavaScript wizard in order to implement cool UI effects), the use of Ajax has become more widely spread.
