Most users nowadays familiar with AJAX, well they don’t really know the term.
What users familiar is the experience, such as of submitting form without reloading the page.
So when you build new website or your web application, don’t forget to include this experience. But you also have to remember, there are some people who turn off their javascript or maybe the javascript failed to load. That is why, you should consider to use progressive enhancement.
In progressive enhancement, you can make your web application work in condition where no javascript available or failed, and enhance them if javascript available.
Lets just go with example, we’re building a form that will submit and reload to new page, but when javascript is available the form will be submitted via AJAX without reloading the page.
