Web Two > Ancient Geek

[Weblogs.java.net] Editor's Daily Blog: June 2006 Archive: The thing about Ajax is that most tutorials are heavily slanted towards replacing existing web apps, so they add a little bit client-side functionality, but they are still heavily focused on the server and the interaction between the server and the "thin" client (a term that is getting increasingly inappropriate for browsers where Ajax is involved). So, you start with a webapp that refreshes the whole page, and then you see how to replace the refresh and instead send a little XML that the client parses and uses to alter the DOM and thus update just the parts of the page that need updating.
