Before AJAX in ~2005, web designers were not able to come anywhere near the user experience that a native Win32 application such as those written in Delphi (Microsoft no longer provides native Win32 application development software, only .NET development) could provide.<\/p>\n
AJAX is a combination of technologies which work together to provide\u00a0 a much more responsive and rich user experience in web applications than ever before using asynchronous server communication. Although AJAX is still not as responsive nor rich as a native Win32 app, but at least it will run on most platforms including Apple iPhone and iPad, and it is NOT dependent on any .NET technology or Flash technology (which will not run on Apple iPad browsers).<\/p>\n
