If this is your first app I would suggest initially not using ajax
until you have got the rest of it working. Where you might want to
use ajax just update the whole page. However, if you really want to
jump in at the deep end, do you understand the basics of Ajax? If not
I suggest finding some tutorials and working through them, then work
out how to apply it to your particular problem.

I agree with Marnen, though, the paradigms used for the UI on desktop
apps are not necessarily the best ones to use for a web app.
