Professional Ajax, 2nd Edition |
| Nicholas C. Zakas; Jeremy McPeak; Joe Fawcett |
| 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.
Some of the strong coverage carrying over from the first edition includes: *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 With almost 50% more coverage than the first edition, this new edition also includes: *Dynamic Script Loading *Using Images *Ajax libraries including Yahoo! Connection Manager and Prototype *Working with RSS and Web search feeds *Persistent HTTP Connections and Client-Side Sockets *Ajax Mapping APIs from Google, Yahoo!, and MSN *Ajax Debugging *Microsoft "Atlas" *An expanded Ajax web-based email reader case study *Integrated best-practices coverage
