Ajax gives web developers the potential to create rich user-centered internet
applications. But Ajax also adds a new level of complexity and sophistication to
those applications.
Ajax in Practice tackles Ajax head-on, providing countless
hands-on techniques and tons of reusable code to address the specific issues
developers face when building Ajax-driven solutions.
After a brief overview of Ajax, this book takes the reader through dozens of
working examples, all presented in an easy-to-use cookbook format. Readers
will learn how to implement drag-and-drop interfaces and will discover how to
create effective navigation strategies for their applications. Unlike a traditional
cookbook, though, Ajax in Practice provides a thorough discussion of each
technique presented and shows how the individual components can be
connected to create powerful solutions. A fun mash-up chapter concludes the
book. Throughout Ajax in Practice, the examples chosen are interesting,
entertaining, and practical.
