Learning AJAX / implementing easy AJAX on a new site
I would like some help in learning some easy-to-use AJAX stuff that I can use to implement on my new sites. Are there good sites with help/tutorials or can somebody give me a quick lesson?

First of all.. Don’t use AJAX because you want to use AJAX. A good example of when it is proper to use AJAX is the “great answer” option here. There is no need to reload the entire page for that. AJAX is perfect for that.
And I will send you a link via the comments function with a lot of tutorials about AJAX.
@john, could you post the link here? I’d like to see it, and other people might like to also.
yeah i totally agree with Perchik, i need that also, i have spent long time to learn javascript
Just to expand on what johnpowell said, AJAX should only be used when you want to fetch data in an asynchronous fashion.
Most sites that are good examples use it sparingly in areas where you may be adding or removing a single row from a table, bringing in large bandwidth content when you still want the page to continue to function, preserving settings behind the scenes, etc.
Just look at Fluther as a fantastic example of this!
