AJAX... not the kind you use on your bathroom walls!

AJAX is the interactive web technology behind Google Maps. Whats most interesting about this technology is the possibilities for web designers looking to get more from web applications. Building intuitive user interfaces will be the key aspect of this techology, since it requires less load on a server while allowing applications to become more animated and functional. As this becomes more widely used, there may be a shift in time from the old way of creating applications, to the new AJAX method.
