{Does it make sense using Ajax for a Dynamic XML Table-Editor?}

Ajax is an approach to create user interfaces for web applications that behave like desktop applications. We discuss, whether Ajax is applicable on the Dynamic Query Table Editor, a web application that shall be developed within a practical course. We summarize pros and contras of Ajax and what should be considered when using it.
