Ajax exploded on the scene in the Spring of 2005 when a web site
defined the term and Google released Google Maps and GMail,
powerful examples of what Ajax can do. Ajax uses familiar web
technologies-DHTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript-in radically
different ways resulting in a much richer user experience. The key
to success lies in knowing how to orchestrate them as a coherent
whole, splitting off parts of what is normally done by the server
and putting it into the browser for instantaneous response to user
input. Ajax allows a new breed of web applications with the rich
expressiveness of desktop applications.
This book helps developers realize that promise-it explains the
big picture and how to unlearn many old coding habits. It explains
the design patterns and best practices to create a live interface
for the user, not get in his way. It also discusses important Ajax
issues: how to make good use of network bandwidth, and how to
identify, and avoid, common Ajax pitfalls. The book is aimed at
all web developers with prior experience in web technologies,
independent of the server technologies used. Examples of server
code in the book are in Java and .NET.
