AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It enables interactive web applications. Google Reader, GMail and Windows Live are some well known examples of sites that use AJAX to enhance the user experience. If you have used the above sites, you must have noticed that the sites are able to dynamically update a section of the web page instead of refreshing the whole page. That is AJAX programming at work. 8) This functionality is very important and the most practical choice for mobile phone browser applications. Mobile phones have limited bandwidth and selectively downloading content would seem like the obvious thing to have in a mobile browser application. Thanks to Opera, it will now become a reality. Opera has released a software development kit to enable web applications to take advantage of AJAX. According to the Opera website the Windows Mobile version will be released later. :-(
