Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 18,318 PointsUse of AJAX
Silly question, is there any reason why I cannot see this example useful? not under respecting the teacher, nothing to do with him, but I cannot see the 'power' of using AJAX on this example? wouldn't just work with a simple JS code or JQuery?
I just find it difficult to understand terms if I cannot visualise why they are truly used for.

Keep progressing in the course and see if the later examples make the purpose more clear.
