Ajax resources

The Ajax is poping up more and more, I have tried to collect some of the articles I have found about it.

## I have never heard of it, what is it?
Ajax: A New Approach to Web Applications: Describes in a good way what it is and how to make use of it.

Ajax isn’t a technology. It’s really several technologies, each flourishing in its own right, coming together in powerful new ways. Ajax incorporates:

* standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS;
* dynamic display and interaction using the Document Object Model;
* data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT;
* asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest;
* and JavaScript binding everything together.

## So is this good or bad? (you decide)
* Progressive enhancement with Ajax
* Ajax: Take it or leave it?
* This is not another XMLHttpRequest article
* XMLHttpRequest, Ajax, and the customer experience
* Progressive Enhancement: Paving the Way for Future Web Design

## Where is it used?
* Google Groups
* Google Suggest
* Google Maps
* Panic goods
* Ta-da list movie example

## Usability?
* XMLHttpRequest Usability Guidelines

## Accessibility?
* AJAX and Accessibility
* Web Interface Design Tip: The Yellow Fade Technique

  4. Great list of resources. I particularly like the article on ‘Usability Guidelines’. Thanks!

    Although, clearly a misprint in the first sentence ‘The Ajax is poping up more and more’ still sounds funny.
