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 muchbroader 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.
