AJAX Is About Better Internet Applications
Web applications have many benefits over desktop applications:
- they can reach a larger audience
- they are easier to install and support
- they are easier to develop
However, Internet applications are not always as "rich" and user-friendly as traditional desktop applications.
With AJAX, Internet applications can be made richer (smaller, faster, and easier to use).

There is nothing new to learn.
AJAX is based on open standards. These standards have been used by most developers for several years.
Most existing web applications can be rewritten to use AJAX technology instead of traditional HTML forms.
