(Davin Martyn) Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a new web development technique for interactive websites. With the help of AJAX we can develop web applications and retrieve small amounts of data from a web server. AJAX consists of a different type of technology.

(Ben Nadel) By now, we’re all used to ColdFusion’s standard session management – the one that’s typically powered by session cookies that get posted back to the server with every request.
