and well known expert in the field of DHTML and Ajax development on digital
TV set-top boxes, in home automation and banking and financial systems, designed,
developed and regularly delivers Skills Matter's intensive and highly practical Ajax training course
Ajax exploded on the scene in the spring of 2005 when a web site defined the term and
Google released Google Maps and GMail, powerful examples of what Ajax can do. Ajax uses
familiar web technologies - DHTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript - in radically different ways
resulting in a much richer user experience.

Managing Ajax Across the User Session
Ajax makes it possible to communicate to the server out of band, giving rise to a number of novel interaction patterns, such as automatic updating of data, type-ahead suggestions and inline editing of data. While these are all
useful idioms as far as the end-user is concerned, there is a danger that moderately complex Ajax apps will end up generating a significant volume of relatively trivial HTTP calls. This increases the load on both the sever and
the network. During this session, Dave showed how to address these issues.
