Flash:
Since its introduction in 1996, Flash technology has become a popular method for adding animation and interactivity to web pages;
several software products, systems, and devices are able to create or display Flash. Flash is commonly used to: create animation,
advertisements, various web-page components, integrate video into web pages, and more recently, develop rich Internet applications such as
portals.Adobe claims Flash reaches 97.3% of desktop internet users.
Some of my favorite designers are listed below but one who is truly innovative in using flash to
push the boundaries of the user experience is Yugo Nakamura.

Ajax:
Ajax, shorthand for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, is a web development technique for creating interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive
by exchanging small amounts of data with the server behind the scenes, so that the entire web page does not have to be reloaded each time the user makes a change.
This is meant to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, and usability. Some of best examples of AJaX is Google Maps, Google Suggest and GMail.
