    AJAX basically is just an implementation of existing Javascript functions. The idea is that the browser doesn't have to continually load and reload the page to send information back and forth. Javascript does it for them.

    The basic rundown of most AJAX functions is like this:

    1. User enters some info in a form.
    2. User presses a button.
    3. Button calls Javascript
    4. Javascript takes the info from the form and sends it to another page.
    5. The page processes the information and sends back a response.
    6. Javascript processes this response to change the items/layout of the page.

    If you're reasonable comfortable with Javascript and a server-side language, then the AJAX primer on www.w3schools.com will do just fine to get you up and running quickly. It's actually very simple when you get the hang of it.

    Of course you can and is not as hard as many makes it out to be.
    There is an example I put togheter for some member in Irish Web Master Forum :

    http://www.eire-webdesign.ie/t-Ajax-load-content-from-another-file-without-browser-refresh-using-Ajax-g2-next1.html

    Simple and to the point.
    There are times when you might require a more complex option, but there are tones of tutorials and ready made packages that you can use to do your own coding like YUI from Yahoo released under GPL.
