Congratulation on the release of your book.
Can you put down the difference between these languages as it sometimes confusing. Would be grateful if all the mentioned languages are covered.
Also , what adavantages AJAX have over these languages.

AJAX is not a replacement for php, .NET or Java. It is used in conjunction with it. It is a way to transport data in a new fashion.

The Foundations book covers Java while Ajax In Action covers Java, PHP, VB.NET and C#.

Transporting data from where to where ( are u saying from the websever to the client server) and why is so important.

It transports dat from the client (aka browser) to the server and back to the client.

You need to know how to program in JavaScript and a server side language before you should jump into Ajax method of programming.

I can write programs in PHP, Javascript also I posses very little knowledge of ASP. Can you please give me links to good tutorials. Also , can you please tell me why is it considered so important that a techonlogy had to be developed. Things i can think of is better way of data transfer, good encryption.

I am really sorry if i am putting up IDIOTIC queries.

You need just one server side langauge so you do not need ASP if you have PHP. This way of transfering data has been around for a long time, just no one used it for awhile seriously. You got a secure method of transfering data if you move to an HTTPS.

That clears my doubt, i'll keep that mind, i had'nt developed anything in scripting languages, so my knowledge about them was restricted to small programs.
Thanks for your time and effort.
