This post is the second in a continuing series of DIY tutorials, which aims to make things as simple as possible.
Ajax. Some would say that it is simply an over-used buzzword, but I disagree. Ajax (formerly known as AJAX) is a fantastic way to enhance websites and improve user interactivity. However, like all things, it should be used in moderation, and has the potential to be used improperly (I'm looking at you, flash.)
But I don't want to get off-topic so early on. In this tutorial, you will:
- Learn how to use Ajax in the simplest way I could think of
- Create an addictive voting script
- Create a simple shoutbox
- Download source and create your own within minutes!
