AJAX?

Hi, do you think AJAX must used on every system? His only advantage is
avoiding post-back on server? Any one who has experience using it ? Please
give some directions!

Thanks!

do you think AJAX must used on every system?
Absolutely not! One of the worst mistakes developers can make with a new
technology is to immediately go looking for uses for it where it's not
warranted...
Is its only advantage avoiding post-back on server?
Pretty much. AJAX uses callbacks instead of postbacks, which means that the
entire page doesn't get refreshed...
Any one who has experience using it?
Yes.
Please give some directions!
Have you gone through the on-line samples...?

Yes, these are really good, and Joe doesn't say "go ahead and" too often

"AJAX" (Remote scripting) can and should be used judiciously, with a primary
view towards usability.

The people running the Codeplex.com site recently "AJAXIFIED" their search
and browser facility with AJAX, and they didn't ask themselves these simple
questions. it was a disaster. Fortunately, they've seen the light and have
now returned it to its original "non-AJAX" functionality, which worked just
fine before they started fiddling with it.

Yeah - I noticed that too
:)
Plus - he's the first guy I've seen that, inside a DIV tag, added a CENTER
tag.

No it's not necessary on every system.
If you want your system to be cutting edge, however, then it might start to
become necessary.
I've outlined some AJAX techniques here:
http://SteveOrr.net/articles/Ajax.aspx
http://SteveOrr.net/articles/WebChat.aspx

For a more detailed look at Microsoft's new ASP.NET AJAX framework I'd
suggest my new book:
"Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX"
