In a new post, Douglas Clifton shares his experience and the information he gleaned from a meeting of the DC area users group concerning PHP and Ajax integration.

Jonathan Modell was tonight's presenter. [...] His presentation focused on how he learned to integrate Ajax technology within a core PHP system. Obviously this is a hot topic, if somewhat too hot in my opinion.

David describes the rest of the presentation, highlighting where some of the popular Ajax function started, an overview of how it works, how JSON fits into the picture, and the speaker's preference in Ajax tools like Prototype.
