Ajax is not a programming language, its a technique of implementing the
client (browser) side of your applications in JavaScript, which is the
programming language.
ever use gmail or google documents? thats ajax. its interactive
within the USER BROWSER without requiring round trips to the web server
for every little operation such as summing up the checks entered in a
form as they are being entered. An Ajax accounting program could be
interactive like Quickbooks is, as opposed to fill in a static form and
hit submit for every little action.
And, if you've never used a SQL join, you don't know the first thing
about *relational* databases, you've been using SQL as though it was a
simple flat table ISAM, DBase-style circa 1983. Might as well use
BerkeleyDB for that, its even faster and lighter weight.
but, whatever. its your project, have at it.
