This document discusses careers in JavaScript and Ajax programming. It provides an overview of JavaScript and its evolution from being used for "flashy" pop-ups and rollovers to being at the heart of Ajax applications today. Ajax makes pages faster, more configurable and interactive by working behind the scenes to get data from the server. The document promotes Learning Catalyst programs that teach JavaScript and Ajax basics like DOM, events and validation, as well as advanced topics like variables, operators, and dynamic web programming.

8. AJAX is not a new programming language, so
you don't have to learn anything new.
AJAX involves just using the existing standards
(JavaScript and XML) in a different way.
AJAX became popular because of Google in
2005. AJAX becomes a common ingredient in
web 2.0-based web applications.
