I have a jobcard System where jobcards will be delivered between employees. Each Employee will have their screens open. I want to make a site which will give them notification when they will get a new job card. How may i start building it?

I would go for polling. I.e. having an client-side timer that periodically asynchrony calls a server function that checks for new notifications and displays them to the end-user.
Another option would be something called HTTP server push, but from what I read this could be rather tricky to work on every browser and also could consume more server resources.

Ajax and some real time server thing. Read more on "pull" and "push." This is a little bit of complicated topic. There is no clear cut answer. Read on "push" technology on Ajax. Or timely polling.
