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.
