Build powerful AJAX-driven Web applications by passing data between the client and server using PHP, JavaScript and the JSON data format.

Got seven minutes to learn how you can harness the power of PHP, JavaScript and JSON in a powerful AJAX-driven web application? This Internet.com Video tutorial shows you all you need to know to pass data between the client and server using JSON data format.
