3. PRIOR MEETINGS
--------------
July 2006: AJAX and other Advanced JavaScript Techniques
--------------------------------------------------------
Unigroup would like to thank Dan Phiffer, from ShiftSpace, for
his presentation talk about AJAX and JavsScript Techniques.
The discussion was lively and contained various interactive
demonstrations. It seems that AJAX can be found on many popular
web sites, particularly where increased "interactive-ness" and
responsiveness is needed.
