Synopsis

Ajax is the term used to describe the combination of three hot technology topics CSS, XML, and JavaScript providing faster, more sophisticated Web user interfaces. This work explores the technologies behind Ajax, its various usage models and communication methods, and why the Ajax model is better than the traditional Web model. It discusses Ajax and its practical implementation in a professional Web site/application environment, and examines a variety of server-side languages (such as PHP and .NET), so that readers can get an overview of development issues prior to implementing their own Ajax solutions. It also covers building a Web-based Ajax RSS reader and calling Web services from JavaScript.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

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

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
