Addison-Wesley Advanced ASP.NET AJAX Server Controls, For .NET Framework 3.5 (2009)
AJAX (Asynchronous javascript and XML) is a group of interrelated web development
techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous web applications. With
Ajax, web applications can send data to, and retrieve data from, a server
asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior
of the existing page. Data is usually retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object.

Despite the name, the use of XML is not required (JSON is often used instead), and
the requests do not need to be asynchronous. Ajax is not a single technology, but a
group of technologies. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style
information. The DOM is accessed with javascript to dynamically display, and to allow
the user to interact with the information presented. javascript and the
XMLHttpRequest object provide a method for exchanging data asynchronously between
browser and server to avoid full page reloads
