With it's ever-growing popularity among web programmers, I decided to take a look at this new programming language to see why it's becoming more popular.
At first, I didn't know if it was really worth teaching myself AJAX. I searched Google for tutorials, yet I couldn't find many decent sites. I also tried going to my library to see if there were any books on it, but the only two books that they had were checked out.
Eventually after reading a few good tutorials that I found, I began to get a hang of it, and I started to understand more clearly how AJAX works and what it does. After only two days, I've already managed to create two different applications with both AJAX and PHP, and I'm in the process of creating a new AJAX portal for PHPMini.com.
