I'm trying to get up to speed on Ajax. What are the pros/cons of it? Advantages over Flash, etc.? Any help would be great. Links to sites that use it or teach about it would be appreciated also.
Thanks!!

Well they are two different things, I like Flash but find it a pain in ass to code but then again I am not a pro like some people here on QBN.
But here are some links that could help you out:

Camb. AJAX is the future. Unless the site needs visual interaction, in which case use flash. AJAX's best advantage is the background processing for form validation results population and display updates without a "click". I think part of the reason facebook became so popular is because of their liberal usage of AJAX throughout the site. We don't code anything w/o AJAX anymore.

they are nor mutually exclusive, a flash site can use ajax.

oh, and if you are using ajax, jquery hides all of the messy cross browser code, i highly recommend using it!
