Book description
This handy reference reveals how Ajax patterns can vastly improve your web development projects. It does so by investigating how others have successfully dealt with conflicting design principles, and then relaying that information directly to you. Includes sections on foundational technology patterns, programming patterns, functionality and usability patterns, and diagnosis/testing of Ajax applications.
Full Description Ajax, or Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, exploded onto the scene in
the spring of 2005 and still remains the hottest story among web
developers. With its rich combination of
technologies, Ajax can create interactive web applications with XML or
JSON based web services, using JavaScript
in the browser to process the web server response.
Ajax Design Patterns from O'Reilly provides you with
the best practices
you need to improve your web development projects. It does so by
investigating how others have
successfully dealt with conflicting design principles in the past, and
then relaying that information directly to
you. The patterns outlined in the book fall into four categories:
Foundational technology - Overview the
raw technologies required for Ajax development
Programming - Expose techniques that
developers have been discovering to ensure their Ajax applications are
maintainable
Functionality and usability - Describe the types of user
interfaces you'll come across in Ajax
applications and the new types of functionality that Ajax makes possible
Development - Explain the process being used to monitor,
debug and test their Ajax applications
Ajax Design Patterns will also get you up to speed
with core Ajax
technologies such as XMLHttpRequest, the DOM and JSON. Technical
discussions are followed by code examples so
you can see for yourself just what is - and isn't - possible with Ajax.
If you want to produce high-quality Ajax architectures, streamline your
performance and improve your usability, then you only need to read this
handy reference front to
back.
