Ajax in Practice provides example-rich coverage of Ajax packed with
ready-to-use code and practical recipes for common and not-so-common
tasks. Ajax developers now face the move from Ajax-as-theory to
Ajax-in-practice. Ajax in Practice guides web developers through the
transition from learning about Ajax to successfully applying
Ajax-driven techniques in real-world development scenarios.
Ajax gives web developers the potential to create rich user-centered
internet applications. But Ajax also adds a new level of complexity and
sophistication to those applications. Ajax in Practice tackles Ajax
head-on, providing countless hands-on techniques and tons of reusable
code to address the specific issues developers face when building
Ajax-driven solutions.
After a brief overview of Ajax, this book takes the reader through
dozens of working examples, all presented in an easy-to-use cookbook
format. Readers will learn how to implement drag-and-drop interfaces and
will discover how to create effective nagigation strategies for their
applications. Unlike a traditional cookbook, though, Ajax in Practice
provides a thorough discussion of each technique presented and shows how
the individual components can be connected to create powerful solutions.
A fun mash-up chapter concludes the book. Throughout Ajax in Practice,
the examples chosen are interesting, entertaining, and practical.
