We hear a lot about web 2.0, and whether it's more fad or more evolution, we can say with certainty that web sites are getting better and smarter. Live search, auto-saved forms, and the simple clarity in web applications are raising the bar on what users expect in a web site. We're ahead of that - we've been building ajax-style applications since a time when Ajax was only a household cleaner.
Ajax, as you probably know, is a methodology of contacting a web site from a browser in real time instead of awaiting the user to press the submit button. There's a lot more to it than that, but suffice it to say that Ajax is responsible for making web sites more like computer applications with events happening as you're doing your work, and you're not waiting on a server for every little thing.
With the advent of Ajax, there are a multitude of frameworks and plug-and-play objects that make web sites smarter. The advantage is that an application cost is half of what it was five years ago, and the experience is much richer for the user. The disadvantage is that the bar is lower for a programmer to harness this technology. For an application to live longer and be adaptable, you have to program smarter.
Using advanced applications like Ajax provides a rich user experience based on each user's experience. Users can navigate, search and interact with the web site applications without experiencing interference with the display and behavior of the web site pages. We use Ajax not only to increase the web page's interactivity and speed, but it also helps with functionality and gives the highest usability for users to have the easiest web site experience.
