AJAX isn't a true language, it's more of an object that can be implemented in a simple EventHandler with C# or VB (if you can do it in C#, you can do it VB, they're vice versa languages). But if you can get ahold of you student info, you can apply as a student at JourneyEd with your Windows Live ID and can get professional compilers (VS 2008, Expression, etc.) from Microsoft through Dreamspark. Before the thread gets closed, you can talk to me about programming on the board for a group (Programmers of the World, yea it's mispelled, but I'm not an English major) and I think Dog Dog (can't remember names to well) knows Java more than I do so you can talk to Dog for some help.
