When I happened to browse the Internet on AJAX, I came across a knowledge treasure on Ajax technology. Brett McLaughlin, O’ Reilly Media Inc, has come up with a series of articles on “Mastering Ajax”.

• Part 1 of the series gives unambiguous explanation on the rudiments of AJAX technology.
• Part 2 of this series introduces you to XMLHttpRequest object.
• Part 3 of the learning series explains the requests and responses of the web interaction happening in Web2.0.
• Part 4, 5 and 6 explains the concept of DOM and the role of DOM in web applications.
• Part 7 and 8 details the usage of XML data format for shuttling the data back and forth between the web server and the Internet surfer.

Being an amateur to the world of AJAX technology, I found it very informative. Since this series helped me lots in understanding the nuances of AJAX, I thought I’d share this treasure with you.
