The document discusses asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) techniques for making asynchronous HTTP requests from the browser. It provides code examples using XMLHttpRequest and the newer Fetch API to make requests to server-side handlers written in Go. The code sets up a simple page that displays buttons for different asynchronous actions, and uses JavaScript functions to make requests on button click, printing the responses to a log on the page. This demonstrates asynchronous interactivity between the browser and server.
