Refresh of Shopping cart on item added

Question

i am currently building a custom shopping cart to my website, it has all the items on the left and a slim view of the basket on the right with a list of all the items added plus a total value price. What i want is for the price and list to update when a user clicks on add to basket, but i don't want the page to reload, i know that AJAX can be used for this, but i was wondering if anyone had any tutorials that could show me some examples of being able to do this.

I am just getting a bit confused at the moment.

Thanks
