介绍：
本书作为Pragmatic系列之一，从实践出发，通过实例展示Ajax的诸多特性，手把手教你实现Google Map的绚丽效果。不仅教会你Ajax的技术细节，同时还带你了解各种功能强大的主流Ajax工具包（Dojo、Prototype、 Script.aculo.us、DWR、Backbase、SmartClient、Ajax.NET、SAJAX、JSON-RPC），掌握Ajax 实时查看源代码的方法以及进行代码调试的相应方法，学习Ajax的开发模式和框架。本书后半部分共用了五个章节，从服务器端编程的角度，详细讲述了 Ajax同PHP、Ruby On Rails、Java和.NET等语言的融合，最后还介绍了与Ajax相类似的其他RIA技术以及Ajax的精彩未来（E4X, Canvas, SVG,的相关应用）。
It’s not just another book on Ajax. It’s Pragmatic Ajax: a concise, complete look at a new way of envisioning and implementing browser-based applications.
Ajax turns static web pages into interactive applications. Now you can deploy rich-client applications to clients without sacrificing the easy deployment of web applications. But to many folks, Ajax seems difficult. That’s why we produced this book. As a Pragmatic guide, it strips away the mystery and shows you the easy way to make Ajax work for you.
We cover the the basics of DHTML, JavaScript, and the infamous XmlHttpRequest call. You’ll see how to add Ajax to existing programs, and design new applications to exploit the power of Web 2.0. Learn the three layers of Ajax framework, and when (and how) to use each. See how to create rich clients, use visual effects, add client-side validation, and handle forms. Write applications that degrade gracefully if clients don’t support JavaScript. And see how to integrate your Ajaxified clients into Java, .NET, and Ruby on Rails server frameworks.
With Pragmatic Ajax, you’ll:
- Understand the breadth of the Ajax/Web 2.0 landscape, and go-indepth on how Ajax works
- Learn how JavaScript works with your server-side framework
- See how to easily apply Ajax techniques to an existing application–and when not to
- Know what’s coming by looking at new features and frameworks currently in active development.
Writing dynamic applications isn’t that hard. Folks are awed by Google Maps, but it isn’t rocket science (apart from the satellite pictures). As a special bonus, see how to implement your own Google Maps-like application using DHTML.
