Abstract

In traditional web applications (sometimes called the old way of doing things), a page is rendered, which the user interacts with; perhaps they log in, enter some search criteria, or choose an option. This information is then posted back to the server and a new page is returned and rendered on the browser. This, of course, requires a server round trip as well as downloading and rendering a new page.
