Product Description

Written for experienced web developers, Professional Ajax shows how to combine tried and true CSS, XML, and JavaScript technologies into Ajax. This provides web developers with the ability to create more sophisticated and responsive user interfaces and break free from the "click and wait" standard that has dominated the web since its introduction.

Professional Ajax discusses the range of request brokers (including the hidden frame technique, iframes, and XMLHttp) and explains when one should be used over another. You will also learn different Ajax techniques and patterns for executing client server communication on your web site and in web applications. By the end of the book, you will have gained the practical knowledge necessary to implement your own Ajax solutions. In addition to a full chapter case study showing how to combine the book s Ajax techniques into an AjaxMail application, Professional Ajax uses many other examples to build hands on Ajax experience. Some of the other examples include:

web site widgets for a news ticker, weather information, web search, and site search
preloading pages in online articles
incremental form validation
using Google Web APIs in Ajax
creating an autosuggest text box

Professional Ajax readers should be familiar with CSS, XML, JavaScript, and HTML so you can jump right in with the book and begin learning Ajax patterns, XPath and XSLT support in browsers, syndication, web services, JSON, and the Ajax Frameworks, JPSpan, DWR, and Ajax.NET.

From the Back Cover

Combining tried–and–true CSS, XML, and JavaScript™ technologies, Ajax provides web developers with the ability to create more sophisticated and responsive user interfaces and break free from the "click–and–wait" standard that has dominated the web since its introduction.

This book discusses the range of request brokers (including the hidden frame technique, iframes, and XMLHttp) and explains when one should be used over another. You will also learn different Ajax techniques and patterns for executing client–server communication on your web site and in web applications. Each chapter builds on information in the previous chapters so that by the end of the book, you will have gained the practical knowledge necessary to implement your own Ajax solutions.

What you will learn from this book

Different methods for achieving Ajax communication and when to use each
A variety of Ajax design patterns to use in specific data retrieval circumstances
Techniques for using Ajax with RSS and Atom to produce a web–based news aggregator
How to use JavaScript Object Notation as an alternate data transmission format for Ajax communications
How to create Ajax widgets, such as a weather display and news ticker, that can be included in your web site

Who this book is for

This book is for web developers who want to enhance the usability of their sites and applications. Familiarity with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS is necessary, as is experience with a server–side language such as PHP or a .NET language.

Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real–world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals. Focused and relevant, they address the issues technology professionals face every day. They provide examples, practical solutions, and expert education in new technologies, all designed to help programmers do a better job.

3.0 out of 5 stars A closely held hand, whilst the wind blows..., 14 Sep 2008

By	J. Armstrong (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Professional Ajax (Programmer to Programmer) (Paperback)

A teensy long winded, but holds your hand firmly. Also a bit dated - but kinda interesting from a look-in-your-rear-view perspective (internet years huh! don't they fly by). I'm a cut-to-the-code-geek, so I preferred Advanced Ajax by Lauriat (better code, not so well explained).

Detailed code hand-holding for an Ajax debut. Code examples, explained in detail.
