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: * How to connect server-side backend components to user
interfaces in the browser * Loading and manipulating XML documents,
and how to replace XML with JSON * Manipulating the Document Object
Model (DOM) * Designing Ajax interfaces for usability,
functionality, visualization, and accessibility * Site navigation
layout, including issues with Ajax and the browser's back button *
Adding life to tables & lists, navigation boxes and windows *
Animation creation, interactive forms, and data validation *
Search, web services and mash-ups * Applying Ajax to business
communications, and creating Internet games without plug-ins * The
advantages of modular coding, ways to optimize Ajax applications,
and more This book also provides references to XML and XSLT,
popular JavaScript Frameworks, Libraries, and Toolkits, and various
Web Service APIs. By offering web developers a much broader set of
tools and options, Ajax gives developers a new way to create
content on the Web, while throwing off the constraints of the past.
Ajax: The Definitive Guide describes the contents of this unique
toolbox in exhaustive detail, and explains how to get the most out
of it.
