sorry for the nub question guys , just wanted to know if ajax is better than Joomla! or the reverse ... and when should i choose Ajax/Joomla!

The use of Ajax can reduce connections to the server, since scripts and style sheets only have to be requested once..i wud tell u that ajax is better

ok , thats with ajax , now what about Joomla! ?

They are two completely different technologies.

Joomla is a content management system written in PHP.

Ajax is a means by which a page can update itself from the server using Javascript, without updating the whole page.

I think Joomla can use Ajax components.

You can't really compare the two as they have completely different purposes.

Yes, you're right. The Virtuemart component for Joomla! uses AJAX to update the shopping cart items. Pretty slick.

But yeah... we're talking about 2 different animals here. I've never played with AJAX scripting so I'm not even sure you can create a complete website with it.

(or if you'd even want to)

I'm a big fan of Joomla! so that would be my suggestion.

Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript And XML) a group of interrelated web development techniques used for creating interactive web applications or rich Internet applications while joomla.Joomla! is a free open source content management system for publishing content on the World Wide Web and intranets. You cannot compared it because joomla is a CMS not a programming language

I've tried Joomla, bundled it with AEC and CMB.. I honestly didn't care for it. It's easy and versatile but I haven't really found a great CMS that I like.

Joomla! migh be full of security holes (I don't know, I don't use it) but AJAX is not something that comes full of security holes! If you program badly then yes, there will be security issues but if you use it correctly, then no, there will be no issues!
