eBook editionsAjax: The Definitive Guideby Anthony T Holdener
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Is Ajax a new technology, or the same old stuff web developers have been using for years? Both, actually. This book demonstrates not only how tried-and-true web standards make Ajax possible, but how these older technologies allow you to give sites a decidedly modern Web 2.0 feel. Ajax: The Definitive Guide explains how to use standards like JavaScript, XML, CSS, and XHTML, along with the XMLHttpRequest object, to build browser-based web applications that function like desktop programs. You get a complete background on what goes into today's web sites and applications, and learn to leverage these tools along with Ajax for advanced browser searching, web services, mashups, and more. You discover how to turn a web browser and web site into a true application, and why developing with Ajax is faster, easier and cheaper. The book also explains:
Book News Annotation:This book demonstrates not only how traditional web standards make
Ajax possible, but also how these older technologies can give sites a
modern Web 2.0 feel. It is intended for two very different groups of
people: web developers, and project managers who need a general
overview of how Ajax works. The different parts of the book reflect
the needs of these different audiences. Part I, on Ajax fundamentals,
is for project managers, and explains the basic technologies that
form the core of Ajax and building Ajax applications. The rest of the
book, for web developers, focuses on Ajax from a programming point of
view, with sections on applying these technologies in an Ajax web
application, integrating Ajax applications, and structuring them.
Four appendices, each about 20 pages, provide background on XML and
XSLT, the JavaScript Framework and Toolkit, the Web Service API
Catalog, and Ajax risk references. Holdener is a web architect and
developer.
