Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Sick of creating web sites that reload every time a user moves the mouse? Tired of servers that wait around to respond to users' requests for movie tickets? It sounds like you need a little (or maybe a lot of) Ajax in your life. Asynchronous programming lets you turn your own websites into smooth, slick, responsive applications that make your users feel like they're back on the information superhighway, not stuck on a dial-up backroad. But who wants to take on next-generation web programming with the last generation's instruction book? You need a learning experience that's as compelling and cutting-edge as the sites you want to design. That's where we come in. With Head Rush Ajax, in no time you'll be writing JavaScript code that fires off asynchronous requests to web servers...and having fun doing it. By the time you've taken your dynamic HTML, XML, JSON, and DOM skills up a few notches, you'll have solved tons of puzzles, figured out how well snowboards sell in Vail, and even watched a boxing match. Sound interesting? Then what are you waiting for? Pick up Head Rush Ajax and learn Ajax and asynchronous programming the right way — the way that sticks. If you've ever read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. Head Rush ramps up the intensity with an even faster look and feel. Have your first working app before you finish Chapter 1, meet up with the nefarious PROJECT: CHAOS stealth team, and even settle the question of the Top 5 Blues CDs of all time. Leave boring, clunky websites behind with 8-tracks and hot pants — and get going with next-generation web programming. Book News Annotation:This isn't a reference book on using JavaScript code to create
asynchronous programming, it's a learning experience! The book's
unique visual format and informal style are designed to keep readers
emotionally engaged and stimulate deeper thinking with humor,
unexpected surprises, challenging exercises, and activities that
involve both sides of the brain and all the senses. Concepts are
presented in several different ways for different learning styles,
and every concept is illustrated with b&w photos and graphics, many
of people, because the brain pays more attention to pictures of
people than it does to things. So what does it look like? Imagine a
scrapbook inspired by Roy Lichtenstein, or maybe class notes
scribbled by Andy Warhol. The book does not spend much time
explaining the server-side programs used in the book. Readers should
be familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. McLaughlin has
written other books on programming.
Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Taking the reader beyond basic Web development with DHTML and JavaScript, "Head Rush Ajax" explains how asynchronous data requests and powerful event models can be used in the Ajax methodology. Written by a team of award-winning authors, the book includes hands-on activities and interactive content. About the AuthorBrett McLaughlin has become one of the most well-known authors and programmers in the Java and XML communities. He's worked for Nextel Communications, implementing complex enterprise systems, at Lutris Technologies, actually writing application servers, and most recently at O'Reilly Media, Inc., where he continues to write and edit books that matter. His most recent book, "Java 5.0 Tiger: A Developer's Notebook", was the first book available on the newest version of Java, and his classic Java and XML remains one of the definitive works on using XML technologies in Java.
