I know that there are lots to read on the net about AJAX , but if U want to explained it for a non-web-technical person what would you say ?
"A style of web page where you can edit stuff without having to wait for the whole page to reload all the time"
It's a mechanism to communicate with webserver (backend) without refreshing the whole page. :)
But I believe this site is not a good place to ask these kind of questions.
"A way of updating a web page in sections, instead of all at once."
It's a technology that allows you to download only select portions of the web page, providing a faster and less disruptive page update.
Prior to AJAX, if you need PEN, you must have to buy PAPER and other things which you already have.
In AJAX, you get what you need.
A technique which escape your server from extra burden and fasten your responses

I am new to codeigniter but i am very clear with the basics. I am starting with my new web application (a CMS) actually.
I want to know the best methodology used to create a login system with codeigniter for admin panel (backend).
Regards,
Mrinal Purohit
If you want to know about the libraries available for login/logout and more than you should read this:
How should I choose an authentication library for CodeIgniter?
and if you just simply want to understand a secure & simple login process then you should go and read the code for this one:
https://github.com/DaBourz/SimpleLoginSecure
I would recommend ion auth: http://benedmunds.com/ion_auth/
it has great documentation, you could have several types for users,
and that you could easily have admin group.
You can use tank_auth: http://www.konyukhov.com/soft/tank_auth/
It's very easy to use!
Here another library :)

Ours is a java web application on struts2 framework. Currently for contact us form and download reports form we are using Recaptcha. We have to refresh the captcha at least 4-5 times to get the readable words. We are looking for some simple alternative to Recaptcha which prevents getting Spam requests.
Guys can you suggest me a replacement for Recaptcha.
Yes, another example of an alternate captcha is this: you can make a slide of images, and place one behind the slider. Then, let the human chose from the slider which image is behind the slider.
(I have seen it in a forum, but I don't remember the name of website where I have seen this type of captcha)
You can also make your forum like no one can copy paste anything there, means pasting is restricted there.
I found this! http://areyouahuman.com/
Just discovered it. Plan to use on my next project.
Images are far more easy to identify compared to garbled text. They are more difficult to break too. You could use image-identification CAPTCHAs such as these.

I was preparing for the interview and I stumble across this question.
Can anyone explain me what are the Benefits of Ajax Calls,
why do we need Ajax Calls and what can be the disadvantages of Ajax.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Most importantly, do you understand what AJAX is? If not, I would start by reading through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29 .
One large benefit is that it allows for partial updates to pages, without requiring a reload of the current page or a load of a whole new page with each action or input, as was typical in years past.
One disadvantage may be some additional complexities, development time, and troubleshooting. (The above Wikipedia link actually contains a list of 10 drawbacks for "disadvantages".)
Ajax calls can help you decrease website load. for example if you want to load a customers table from database ajax can load it in without refreshing your css and images etc... so you can save memory by using ajax.
disadvantage of ajax is ... it's taking too much time in development and little bit hard for basic users

I am trying to develop a web based document browsing system, that could look possibly something like : http://www.cell.com/trends/biochemical-sciences (then click on "Protein kinases: evolution of dynamic regulatory proteins").
What web technologies should I look at using? AJAX?
Thanks in advance.

AJAX could do the trick, but you'll need more than that.
Getting document sections and pictures with AJAX is half (maybe less than half) the job, as you'll need all the backend code to upload documents, maybe extract document sections from PDF, store documents hierarchically, retrieve the document hierarchy and pictures, and so on.
Moreover, you don't even told us what server-side technology you are going to use... Java, PHP, DotNet... and the database... PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, end the list goes on.
About the AJAX side and web UI, I suggest you take a look at jQuery and jQuery UI.

I have made a flex app deep link before but now I want to make an ajax app deep link.
I have no idea where to start.
I assume I need a way to listen for when the #hash in the url changes and be able to read it. And I assume I need a way to update the #hash in the url.
Does anyone know how to do all that?
Thanks!
You're on the right track.
For each state of the ajax page that you want to be able to link to, change the hash tag:
window.location.hash = "this_state"
When the page loads you'll need to check if the window.location.hash value matches one of your states and if it does make the app go to that state. ("Listening" for the change of the hash tag is the page loading.)
This way your users can bookmark and share the states, making for a much more usable app, so props for caring about it.
have a look at SWFAddress (deep linking for both Flash and Ajax)
UPDATE: if you use jQuery look at their jQuery Address
If you're using jquery you might want to have a look at this:
