Lots of folks are turning on to this Ajax thing (I can't keep capitalizing it, just looks like I'm shouting). From online word processing to online PIM's, there's a little bit of everything out there using the technology. But I've yet to see such a succint and to-the-point description of the how to use Ajax as "Rasmus' 30 second AJAX tutorial." It will take you longer than 30 seconds to absorb it (I had to read it several times, but I'm a moron). What's nice is that he dispells the common misbelief that you need all these pre-built libraries to accomplish anything with Ajax. Instead, it's easy to start with a basic, classic "foo bar" example, and start building from there. As always, you'll need to understand XML to start doing the really amazing things.A 30 second intro to AJAX
