Welcome

- [Voiceover] Hey there, this is Ray Vilalobos and welcome to JavaScript and AJAX. In this course, I'm going to show you how to use AJAX with JavaScript and Jquery. I'll start by showing you what AJAX is and how you can use the APIs in JavaScript to build web applications that update your pages, without having to reload them from a server. I'll show you how to read and refresh pages with AJAX, using pure JavaScript. Then, we'll examine how to update and modify the DOM, the Document Object Model structure that browsers use to access elements on a page.

We'll also explore reading and passing data in the X amount and JSON format. Plus, I'll show you how to work with the AJAX method in Jquery, to read and write information between the server and the client. Finally, I'll show you how to build a real AJAX project that lets you search through adjacent data file with JavaScript Jquery and CSS transitions. So, let's get started with JavaScript and AJAX.
