AJAX  in a development environment, not an program. 

Like LAMP (Linus,Apache,mySQL,PHP/Perl), it's an environment which combines 
several technologies.
 
Ajax is allegedly an acronym for "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML", but it 
actually incorporates:
    * standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS;
    * dynamic display and interaction using the Document Object Model;
    * data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT;
    * asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest;
    * and JavaScript binding everything together.
