I am reading "Ajax in action".
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML), is a group of interrelated web development techniques used to create interactive web applications or rich Internet applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page.
Ajax include:
XHTML and CSS for presentation
the Document Object Model for dynamic display of and interaction with data
XML and XSLT for the interchange, manipulation and display of data, respectively
the XMLHttpRequest object for asynchronous communication
JavaScript to bring these technologies together
