Ajax (shorthand for asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a group of interrelated web development techniques used on the client-side to create interactive web applications. With Ajax, web applications can retrieve data from the server asynchronously in the background without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. The use of Ajax techniques has led to an increase in interactive or dynamic interfaces on web pages. Data is usually retrieved using the XMLHttpRequest object. Despite the name, the use of XML is not actually required, nor do the requests need to be asynchronous.
Like DHTML and LAMP, Ajax is not a technology in itself, but a group of technologies. Ajax uses a combination of HTML and CSS to mark up and style information. The DOM is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display, and to allow the user to interact with the information presented. JavaScript and the XMLHttpRequest object provide a method for exchanging data asynchronously between browser and server to avoid full page reloads.

Its a technology used to retrieve data or query your database without refreshing your page. This helps in a good interface while checking for say whether a username exists while filling a registration form and if it exists display a message at the side and clear the textbox.
Ajax is a method for building interactive Web applications process user requests immediately. Ajax combines several programming tools such as JavaScript, DHTML, XML, CSS, DOM and XMLHttpRequest Microsoft. Ajax allows the Web page content that is updated every time a user performs an action, during which users must wait for it to load a new page.

Ajax is great for those little sections on your site where you want user feedback and you want to update that little section without updating the entire page.
I'd recommend trying out the jquery API, specifically the load function to make ajax requests.
