All you need is a WLAN capable router.

If he were using Linux he probably wouldn't try using a FTP client to set up a server . So it puzzles me why people immediately give Linux-specific advice assuming it's the OS everyone is / should be using.

HTML is no programming language, it's a markup language. It's like LaTeX for websites. If you want to learn micro$oft stuff, you don't have to spend a dollar, because you already have everything you need . The webserver comes with Windows. If you don't want that, I recommend learning PHP, because it's fairly easy to pick up. Python may be tough for a beginner.

CuteFTP is a FTP client, no server. You need a FTP server . And if you don't have a static IP, you might find an account at dyndns.org beneficial.

What about the infinite amount of numbers? Do they also not exist? I can't imagine there being a limit .

Because they can't do that. XML is just the output, it's not a programming language. You need PHP to output the XML. It's not my opinion. It's how it's done. I am in this field for four years now, so I know how this works. It doesn't reduce that need for heavy apps, because that's not what AJAX does. AJAX does only the following: Send user input to the server and display the output of that action without having to refresh the page. Nothing else! It does not act on the server, it doesn't access the database, nothing! It completely sits on the user's pc and gives the user a streamlined web interface. That's what I am trying to tell you for countless posts now. I quote myself: So please' date=' read that article yourself first. If you don't understand the technology, please learn it first before telling me I'm wrong. [/size']

AJAX is a means to access the server and to display the results of a user's input without reloading the page. It can't replace anything that runs on the server. It would be like saying the Internet Explorer can replace the internet. If you have specific questions about this, please state them. But I am not going to repeat myself over and over again.

Sure, but that is irrelevant. AJAX is no replacement for PHP or whatever, which is what this discussion initiated. And that you can use an idea and apply it on a different platform is obvious, it's done everywhere in every field of the economy. You might want to consider using some more paragraphs and punctuation to ease readability. Anyways, you just restated what has already been said. And using acronyms and expressions which are obviously unknown to the other readers here has no point besides showing off, which is why I tried to keep it as simple as possible.

AJAX runs on the client's computer and can't run on the server. It only delivers information TO the server and displays the response without having to reload the page. There is not more to it. Maybe you should read the article yourself first? It's explained in the paragraph "Compared to traditional web applications". AJAX is based on Javascript. There are free alternatives.

It's no problem with the link, it's the fact that you linked to a search result which is not possible with Amazon.

AJAX is no alternative to PHP! AJAX only supplies a method to access server-side scripts without having to reload the page. It's just a derivative of Javascript and has been around for a looong time now, but it gained popularity after Google started to use it so extensively. PHP code can also be pre-compiled . There are no "crackers" to MD5 because a MD5 hash doesn't include the original string. You can only brute force it and you can get strings that have the same hash but aren't identical to the original. You can MD5 hash a 5GB file and get a hash with the same length as when you hash a 2 character string.

Actually, you can . If you take a picture with a camera that is supposedly better than your eyes, you can try to zoom in to the picture. If the picture quality stays the same, the camera is better .
