You are asking "What is Ajax?".

That's the name for a globule of technologies, borrowed from hither and yon,
and crammed together into a vaguely coherent system to update a web page
without the overhead of fetching an entire new page from a server.

The canonical example of Ajax is Google Maps.

If you want to program Ajax, the best possible web platform to support it is
Ruby on Rails. That makes Ajax easier than classical CGI web programming.
