AJAX






















Ajax For Dummies


Publisher : By Steve Holzner,
Ph.D.

Ajax is short for "Asynchronous
JavaScript+CSS+DOM+XMLHttpRequest."


Even if you weren’t intimidated before, that tidbit is probably enough
to make you reach for the Excedrin. Just reach for Ajax For Dummies instead.
With screen shots, actual code and explanations, and live Web sites where
you can see Ajax applications doing their thing, it will have you using
Ajax to create Web applications that look an act like desktop applications
in no time. With Ajax, you can speed up and clean up your Web applications.
Shoppers at your online store can fill their carts without waiting for
multiple page refreshes. Searchers on your sites can get instant results
on the same page.


This guide takes you on a tour of how Ajax is used today, complete with
examples of Ajax applications in action, such as an Ajax-enabled Yahoo!
search or an Ajax-based chat application. Then it gives you basics on
using JavaScript. After that you dive in and get info on:



  • Writing some Ajax, interactive mouseovers using Ajax, passing data
    to the server with GET or POST, and more

    Connecting to Google for a live search

  • Using free Ajax frameworks so you don’t have to start from scratch,
    including Ajax Gold (written specifically for this book), AJAXLib, and
    grabbing XML with libXmlRequest

  • All kinds of Ajax techniques, such as using Ajax for drag-and-drop
    operations, pop-up menus, downloading images behind the scenes, and
    more

    Using SACK (simple AJAX code kit), decoding XML with Sarissa, and creating
    visual effects with Rico

    Handling XML int Ajax Applications

  • Working with cascading style sheets (CCS) in Ajax, including setting
    up the styles, displaying a menu, styling text, handling colors and
    backgrounds, and more

  • Working with Ajax and PHP


Complete with a companion Web site, free
Ajax frameworks, and sample code you can use, Ajax for Dummies is your
friendly guide to creating truly user-friendly Web sites!

Beginning XML with Dom and Ajax: From Novice to Professional


Publisher : Apress - By Sas
Jacobs



Dont waste time on 1,000-page tomes full of syntax; this book is all you
need to get ahead in XML development. Renowned web developer Sas Jacobs
presents an essential guide to XML. Beginning XML with DOM and Ajax is
practical and comprehensive. It includes everything you need to know to
get up to speed with XML development quickly and painlessly.


Jacobs begins by presenting an overview of XMLits syntax, rules, vocabularies,
and the hows and whys of validity. She also covers the current state of
XML support in todays web browsers. Next, Jacobs covers all of the basic
essential uses of XML. Youll learn how to display XML data using CSS,
and transform XML data using XSLT. Youll even learn about dynamic XML
scripting using the XML DOM.


The last part of the book covers advanced server-side XML uses in real-world

Ajax In Action


Publisher : By Dave Crane,
Eric Pascarello with Darren James



There's no denying the Ajax buzz at the moment. All of a sudden the future
of programming, the next generation web and just about everything in between
are going to be down to the Ajax combination of JavaScript, DOM, XML,
CSS and backend datastores. Who would have thought it that JavaScript
was going to save the world? And for those who are wondering what the
fuss is about, 'Ajax In Action' is an ideal initiation and introduction
to this brave new world.


This four-part book provides the reader with a complete and thorough
guide to all aspects of Ajax, from setting the scene and providing some
historical context to an introduction to JavaScript for object oriented
programmers to a whole section on live examples. Additionally there's
coverage of Ajax frameworks, developers toolsets and more. On sheer coverage
alone this is book scores highly.


However, there's much more to it than simple page count or range of topics.
The quality of the content is very high. The writing is clear, with good
technical content matched by a conversational tone that hits just the
right note. The book is a pleasure to read. Furthermore, the content does
not stick to simple expositions of this technology or that, it's much
more about how the Ajax combination of technologies leads to a sea-change
in development without dropping core skills or processes.


The first part of the book introduces Ajax and explains what it is and
why it exists at all. It discusses the limitations of the classic web
application, talks about the problems of round-tripping between the browser
and the back-end database and shows how asynchronous communication between
browser and datastore can change things radically. The point that comes
through very strongly is that Ajax can and should lead to a change in
the user experience of web applications, and how this change opens to
door to a new generation of complex web-based applications. This is followed
by a quick introduction to Ajax technologies to show how it all fits together.


Part two of the book looks in more detail at core techniques, with special
emphasis on how Ajax implements the Model-View-Controller design pattern.
The server side of things isn't neglected, and this too is covered in
some detail.


Part three is entitled 'Professional Ajax', and devotes three chapters
to the end user experience, performance and security. As always there's
attention to different ways of achieving things, available tools and libraries
and best practices in terms of design patterns.


The final section of the book is 'Ajax by example', with five chapters
that look at extended examples. These are providing a double combo, type
ahead suggest (a la Google suggests), providing an enhanced Web portal,
live search using XSLT and finally building a standalone application.
In each of these examples there's a focus on producing refactored, maintainable
code, discussions of the pros and cons of different approaches and lots
of sample code. This section of the book is excellent in that it brings
everything together in some real projects that show what it is that Ajax
brings to the web development party.


In all this book provides an excellent introduction to Ajax. It does
more than just give the reader of menu of technologies, it shows how the
different strands fit together in a cohesive way that opens the door to
web apps that are more responsive and provide richer functionality without
sacrificing performance. If you want to understand what the Ajax fuss
is about then this is an excellent starting point.
