Ajax, which consists of HTML, JavaScript technology, DHTML, and DOM, is an outstanding approach that helps you transform clunky Web interfaces into interactive Ajax applications. The author, an Ajax expert, demonstrates how these technologies work together -- from an overview to a detailed look -- to make extremely efficient Web development an easy reality. He also unveils the central concepts of Ajax, including the XMLHttpRequest object.

It's an understatement to say that AJAX is hot right now. There's a lot of hype; no one can argue that. It went from a geek buzzword in February to being profiled on CNN in October. So, let's look at why AJAX is here now, and why it's going to continue to grow and will definitely still be around for a while. So, in late-night talk show style, I've put together a top 10 list.

Unless you live under a rock, you've heard about and likely even used AJAX. Asynchronous JavaScript and XML is becoming an increasingly pervasive deployment methodology, which necessitates that people start to both understand how it works and actually consider it more seriously as an enterprise-level development tool. To that end, I will try to illustrate one method of benchmarking your AJAX applications as well as point out some of the major performance pitfalls I have encountered while developing AJAX components and applications.

Java technology and AJAX work well together. Java technology provides the server-side processing for AJAX interactions. It can provide this through servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology, JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology, and web services. The programming model for handling AJAX requests uses the same APIs that you would use for conventional web applications. JSF technology can be used to create reusable components that generate the client-side JavaScript and corresponding server-side AJAX processing code. Let's look at an example that uses AJAX and servlets.

This article introduces a methodology, Ajax, you can use to build more dynamic and responsive Web applications. The key lies in the combination of browser-side JavaScript, DHTML, and asynchronous communication with the server. This article also demonstrates just how easy it is to start using this approach, by leveraging an Ajax framework (DWR) to construct an application that communicates with backend services directly from the browser. If used properly, this tremendous power allows your application to be more natural and responsive to your users, thereby providing an improved browsing experience.

Anyone who has used Flickr, GMail, Google Suggest, or Google Maps will realize that a new breed of dynamic web applications is emerging. These applications look and act very similar to traditional desktop applications without relying on plug-ins or browser-specific features. Web applications have traditionally been a set of HTML pages that must be reloaded to change any portion of the content. Technologies such as JavaScript programming language and cascading style sheets (CSS) have matured to the point where they can be used effectively to create very dynamic web applications that will work on all of the major browsers. This article will detail several techniques that you can use today to enable your web applications to be more rich and interactive like desktop applications.

A common goal of portal developers is to be able to build portlets that render independently of other content on the portal desktop. That way, the portlets are in effect mini-Web applications with which users can interact without having to refresh the entire portal desktop. Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), a newly emerging technology, can help you achieve this goal. This paper introduces the AJAX technology and demonstrates its applicability to portlets with a sample portlet that renders its content through AJAX.

- Foundations of Ajax
by Ryan Asleson, Nathaniel T. Schutta - [Clicks: 18]
Foundations of Ajax presents a concise, down-to-earth explanation of the Ajax technology. Cutting through the hyperbole, this book focuses on what the Ajax technology means, how you start using it, and why it can make a difference to your products. The authors begin with a clear explanation of how the Ajax techniques work, presenting the "XMLHttpRequest" object, and outlining how requests to the server are handled. Then they demonstrate the techniques' strengths and weaknesses in a variety of environments, backing up their discussion with a multitude of coding examples and links to existing Ajax applications already on the Web. The authors put it all together and leave you with a solid understanding of how to use this new Ajax approach to its fullest potential.
Apress, Paperback - Oct, 2005 - Ajax in Action
by Dave Crane, Eric Pascarello - [Clicks: 49]
How to create the next generation of cutting-edge web interfaces. 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. The authors are Ajax developers with considerable depth of experience. They are bloggers and JavaRanch moderators.
