I would suggest that you stay away from components all together. It is
rumoured that components may be removed from the core in the not too distant
future.
If this is your first crack at an application, read a lot, and make many
mistakes.
Ajax can help or hinder depending on how you use it.
To see your page on a network it should be as simple as typing the address
of your server at whatever port with a controller and action in the url
http://myserver:3000/controller/action
Good luck. Hope this helps a little..
