So How Do You Code an AJAX Web Page?

PetManimal writes "Computerworld has a long excerpt from a book by Edmond Woychowsky about how to code Web pages in AJAX. It gives a good explanation of how the technology works, and also has some visuals and code snippets that you can play with. From the article: 'Beyond the XMLHTTP Request object, which has been around for several years as a solution looking for a problem, there is nothing weird needed. Basically, it is how the individual pieces are put together. When they're put together in one way, it is nothing more than a pile of parts; however, when put together in another way, the monster essentially rises from its slab.'"

    Beyond the XMLHTTP Request object, which has been around for several years as a solution looking for a problem, there is nothing weird needed. Basically, it is how the individual pieces are put together. When they're put together in one way, it is nothing more than a pile of parts; however, when put together in another way, the monster essentially rises from its slab.

    But more importantly, one needs to remember that the internet is not a big truck, that you can dump information on. It's a series of tubes.

    Woychowsky repeats himself a lot. What's more, he says the same things over and over. In other words, he'll say something, and then re-phrase it with almost exactly the same words.

    As I've mentioned, he seems to keep repeating himself
