From my point of view :) If you have a date with a woman, don't try to find a library for how woman is created or how woman is function*, just have a nice day with her - now change the woman with the ajax and you get my point of view :)

*You never find that anyway :)

The Mozilla Developer Center has a nice collection of articles regarding AJAX, e.g. an article on how to getting started, which will guide you through the AJAX basics; it also provides a link to the article "Ajax Mistakes", which outlines some of the mistakes you can make when using AJAX
