Release

Nowadays responsive, user-friendly websites are the norm and no longer the exception. Thanks to using AJAX for partial page updates and real-time updates users don’t need to wait for the browser to finish its communication with the server after every action – they are free to open new messages, accept friend requests or browse image galleries while the browser works in the background.
