Do I need to know Ajax

Question

I use php for web apps. do I need to also know ajax?

Answer 1

Yes you need to learn AJAX. The web is evolving and websites that require you to wait for the page to reload every time just to show minor changes are disappearing. Users are getting accustomed to a fluid experience and AJAX is what makes that possible. So if you're planning on being a solid web developer in the future, AJAX is a must have.

It also helps you use less resources on your websites. For instance, rather than having to reload all the images, icons, main menu, logo and sidebar information just to submit a form or display a new post, you can just use AJAX to send the needed information to the server without ever having to reload any of the other components, hence saving the users internet usage.
