    Hey folks,

    I'm thinking AJAX is something I'll need to become familiar with pretty soon, so I'm looking for the best tutorials for it.

    I just downloaded Apache, so hopefully I'll be able to mess around with it locally...

    I'm very comfortable with HTML, CSS and jQuery/Javascript, so from what I gather it shouldn't be too difficult to learn about AJAX

    Any suggestions for where to start? I've googled (and will continue to do so), but the first 4 or 5 tutorials that I came across weren't much use

    Cheers

    Hi Dave,

    When I started out with AJAX I used the tutorial on www.w3schools.com/ajax/ - however, to make the most out of AJAX a prior knowledge of a previous scripting language and XML is essential. I find PHP the easiest to use but it's up to yourself. The next thing to keep in mind is that practice makes perfect so think of a simple example of AJAX (the one I use when teaching my students is a DDL of countries that generates (from a database table) a DDL of counties/states that generates a DDL of cities).

    Hope that helps,
    Regards,
    -RD
