Web 2.0 - AJAX

You'll almost definately have heard this buzzword. Web 2.0 generally refers to websites that make use of a standard called AJAX (Asyncronous JavaScript and XML). Essentially what this boils to down to is website pages that retrieve small amounts of data from a script or database without needing to reload the whole page. This means you can build complex, real time applications for a better user experience.

Lessons in AJAX are only suitable for those with an understanding of creating web pages and scripts already, so if you're new to website creation we'll need to start from the beginning.
