Real AJAX and Javascript

As requirement for my current project I was asked to enhance the application performance by using AJAX. For most of the developers (especially .Net developers), AJAX implementation is nothing but to use some update panels, collapsible panels and modal popups. But when I understood the requirements from my client, I was sure that we need to deliver something more than Microsoft AJAX and there is a need to dive into Real AJAX Sea.

Now a days I am spending most of my time sharpening my Javascript skills which are mandate when you want to build real AJAX applications (not merely by using UpdatePanels).

In coming days I will try to post some cool stuff from Javascript and AJAX which I come across. And I am hopeful that these post will be useful for some of the audience out there to understand and realize effectiveness of Real AJAX.
