Um, well if you want simple Ajax you really will only be using
javascript.  The server side piece doesn't matter, it just returns
data, so you can do that with any backend language.

There are thousands of simple ajax tutorials, but MDC usually is
pretty good: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/AJAX:Getting_Started
