Ajax web development
One thing in common with all web applications developed by glaslyniT
is AJAX - JavaScript - PHP and a database system. Ajax provides a much
richer experience for the user with instant feedback without the need
to refresh the whole page.
So what exactly does Ajax do. In a few words it saves time. Instead
of the whole web page being sent back to the web server, where ever it
is located. Only the section of the web page that needs updating is
returned. Result no flash on the screen as the page is refreshed, just
the instant change of whatever section of the web page was sent back
to be refreshed. See the diagram above. The user on the web page calls
for new information, the web page makes a call to a Javascript function.
This in turn calls a PHP script which makes a call to the database for
the information which is then sent back to then web page. Result a much
cleaner method of development for the web and essential for eCommerce.
