This week's book giveaway is in the Agile and other Processes forum. We're giving away four copies of The Mikado Method and have Ola Ellnestam and Daniel Brolund on-line! See this thread for details.
Hi, For past few months i am hearing a lot about AJAX. I am new to this word. Now i find AJAX-PHP in this forum. How different is it compared to traditional DHTML using java script.
I think its too basic a question, but i have left web development for past 4 years and working on EAI for long. Just want to come back in pace with the tech.

In fact, Ajax has been around for a very long time, but it just got a brand new name recently It only uses known technologies and put them together. Basically, you'll have to use JavaScript, the DOM, the XMLHttpRequest object, and some XML to communicate with the server.
On the server side, you can use any kind of language you want. This book is focusing on PHP for the server side. [ August 22, 2006: Message edited by: Satou kurinosuke ]
You can also use Java Servlets or .jsp to process the requests - print the output with the response.getWriter().write(String) method. Using Servlets is more efficient, but if you're just learning and want to save time use .jsp.

The focus of the promoted book is AJAX as a technology where PHP has been chosen as the language for the server side of the examples.
Each example of the book can be easily converted to Servlets/JSP with minimal knowledge of PHP.
