13/40 - AJAX | Update a Page Without Reload

Introduction to XML AJAX

According to W3Schools, "Ajax is not a coding language, it's a technique for accessing web servers from a web page." This means you can update a page's content without reloading the page. The next few posts will summarize working on my local hosting platform as we embark on data handling with XML AJAX. The code will also be uploaded to my GitHub if anyone would like to explore AJAX with a template.

AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, Asynchronous meaning it can make simultaneous requests between the client and server. Again, this reduces load time and increases your user's interactions as the entire page isn't being refreshed.
